She never reached her fortieth birthday, but in her brief life, Amelia Earhart became a record-breaking female aviator whose international fame improved public acceptance of aviation and paved the way for other women in commercial flight. A pioneer. Opening line of womenshistory.org on this barrier-breaking pilot.

Amelia and her sister Muriel grew up in a society that was changing. Women were beginning to demand their rights and aeronautics was one of the areas where women could flourish, as flight was in its infancy and didn't have a long history of male dominance.
From the first moment she was airborne, Amelia was hooked and through sheer drive and determination, she would become one of the most recognizable aviators in history. Although the two sisters led extremely different lives, both were codependent on each other for their unflinching sibling support.
To this day, many are still trying to solve the puzzle of what actually happened to Amelia. Countless theories have been explored, but still, her disappearance is an open-ended mystery. Known to Muriel as “A.E.”, Amelia had a champion in her younger sister; she would become instrumental in keeping Amelia’s memory alive. This is a role that Muriel’s daughter Amy Kleppner would continue after her death.
