AMELIA EARHART

Amelia Earhart was born on July, 24th, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas, United-States. Her mother was the first woman to climb Pikes Peak. The Earhart family often moved and she graduated from high school in Chicago in 1916. In the 1920s she moved to Masachussetts. For a while she studied medicine but at age 23 she went on her first airplane ride and this experience prompted her to take flying lessons. In 1921 she bought her first plane and two years later, in 1923, she earned her pilot’s license. Amelia Earhart was a reckless student and after the first of several plane crashes rescuers found her calmy powdering her nose.
In 1931, she married Georges Putnam who was a books publisher.
