Highlighting Amelia Earhart's most memorable flights and her fearlessness during Women's History Month

Amelia Earhart is remembered by many as one of the most fearless and influential women in U.S. history. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

Earhart worked in a military hospital in Canada during WWI. Though she was enrolled in the premed program at Columbia University, she dropped out in 1920 and moved to California to be closer to her parents. In 1921, Earhart took her first flying lesson, and just a mere six months later, she bought her own plane. Gabriele Regalbuto is an SEO editor at Fox News Digital.
