Amelia Earhart:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, which she accomplished on May 20-21, 1932. She was not the first aviator to fly around the world, as that feat had already been accomplished by Wiley Post and Harold Gatty in 1931. She was not the first pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic, as Charles Lindbergh had accomplished that in 1927. She was also not the first woman elected to Congress and was not known for advocating Prohibition.
