Amelia Earhart was a girl who loved adventure, and never let anybody stop her from trying new things. Even things that girls had never done before — like flying all the way across the Atlantic Ocean! She worked harder than anyone else and she never gave up on her dreams. Eventually she broke flying records and proved to the world that women can soar just as high as men.
