Amelia Earhart, first woman aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic

Amelia was born in 1897 and went missing in 1937. From an early age, she appeared to be a leader and had unconventional behaviors: for instance, she did not see the need to raise her future children as "good little girls".
 
During World War I, she joined the Voluntary Aid Detachment, working for the Toronto Red Cross, then at the Spadina Military Hospital. After the war, she returned to Columbia University in New York, where she took pre-medicine courses.
