Amelia Earhart

1897–1937 · American aviation pioneer & author

Amelia Mary Earhart (1897–1937) was an American aviator and writer — the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and a tireless promoter of aviation and of women in flight. She was also a genuine author, publishing 20 Hrs., 40 Min. (1928) and The Fun of It (1932), with Last Flight assembled posthumously in 1937. Her real prose is plentiful and searchable, which is exactly why an undocumented one-liner like this one stands out.
