Amelia Earhart became somewhat of a celebrity and set out to promote flying, especially
for women. Her fame skyrocketed after she became the first woman to fly across the
Atlantic Ocean, even though she was little more than a passenger.
After that, Earhart started setting her own records. She became the first woman to fly
across North America and back, set a new world altitude record, and became the first
woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.
By this time, she was a major star - writing books, making celebrity appearances, and
designing her own line of clothes. She used her fame to promote flying as a form of
transportation, and constantly worked for equality for women, not just in the air, but in all
aspects of life.
Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous people in the world when she disappeared
during her greatest adventure - flying around the world. Her fate is still a mystery.
