EARLY LIFE
Amelia Mary Earhart, daughter of Samuel
"Edwin" Stanton Earhart (1867-1930) and
Amelia "Amy" (neeOtis) (18691962),[10]was
born inAtchison, Kansas, in the
home of her maternal grandfather, Alfred
Gideon Otis (18271912), a formerfederal
judge, president of the Atchison Savings Bank
and a leading citizen in the town. Amelia was
the second child of the marriage, after an
infant stillborn in August 1896.[11]She was of
partGermandescent. Alfred Otis had not
initially favored the marriage and was not
satisfied with Edwin's progress as a lawyer.[12]

EDUCATION
The two sisters, Amelia and Muriel (she went by
her middle name from her teens on), remained
with their grandparents in Atchison, while their
parents moved into new, smaller quarters in
Des Moines. During this period, Earhart
received a form of home-schooling together
with her sister, from her mother and a
governess. She later recounted that she was
"exceedingly fond of reading"[23]and spent
countless hours in the large family library. In
1909, when the family was finally reunited in
Des Moines, the Earhart children were enrolled
in public school for the first time with Amelia
Earhart entering the seventh grade at the age
of 12 years.

Earhart's commitment to flying

required her to accept the frequently
hard work and rudimentary conditions
that accompanied early aviation
training.

." On October 22, 1922, Earhart

flew the Airster to an altitude of
14,000 feet (4,300m), setting a
world record for female pilots.

Six months later, Earhart purchased

a secondhand bright yellowKinner
Airsterbiplanewhich she nicknamed
"The Canary."

CONCLUSION
Amelia Earhart possessed a shy, charismatic appeal that
belied her
determination and ambition. In her passion for flying, she
amassed a number of distance and altitude world records.
But beyond her accomplishments as a pilot, she also wanted
to make a statement about the role and worth of women.
She dedicated much of her life to proving that, like men,
women could excel in their chosen professions, and that
they could have equal value. This all contributed to her wide
appeal and international celebrity. Adding the mysterious
circumstances of her disappearance at a young age to all
this has given Earhart lasting fame in popular culture.
