Amelia Mary Earhart, the first women to fly solo across the Atlantic, was born July 24, 1897 at her grandparents’ home in Atchison, Kansas. Despite her many pioneering achievements, she is best known for her tragic disappearance over the Pacific on July 2, 1937, halfway to her goal of circling the globe. Like many today, Earhart believed that technology would open new worlds for women.
Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum
Thousands of visitors a year tour the museum at Earhart’s birthplace in Atchison, KS. Best clicks for virtual visitors can be found under the Amelia Earhart subhead (in the left-hand menu) where you’ll find a biography, fun facts, and news clips. “During her childhood, Amelia invented a tribe of imaginary small black creatures she called Dee-Jays. Described as a cross between a Krazy Kat cartoon and a jabberwocky, the creatures were often blamed for Amelia’s own irresponsible behavior, such as: talking out of turn, eating the last piece of candy, or when something turned up lost.”
Biography: Amelia Earhart
“In 1923, Earhart, fondly known as ‘Lady Lindy,’ became the 16th woman to be issued a pilot’s license. She had several notable flights, becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 1928, as well as the first person to fly over both the Atlantic and Pacific.” Visit for the seven short videos, seventeen-image photo gallery, and one-page biography. One of the videos is at the top of the page, the others are linked to at the bottom of the biography.
Official Amelia Earhart Site
Created on behalf of Earhart’s family, this official site is excellent in content, design, and navigation. Of course there is an Earhart biography, but don’t stop there. Other highlights include a nice collection of quotes (“Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace.” ), a photo gallery, fast facts, and screen savers and wallpaper (listed under Downloads.)
