Amelia Earhart
"Women must try to do things as men have tried. "When she  was eight years old, Amelia Earhart built a roller coaster and "flew"  through the air.  She loved to watch daredevil pilots fly loops in the  sky.  Amelia decided to pilot a plane herself, and became one of the  first women to learn to fly.  She broke flight records and in 1932 was  the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone.  The whole  world admired her courage and daring.  Amelia Earhart disappeared while  trying to set a new record flying all the way around the world at the  equator, but her pioneer spirit inspired many others to follow in her  path.
