Her bravery and tenacity are legendary. Her attempt to fly around the world is regarded as one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. Her flight around the world is legendary because of her unexpected and still undetermined disappearance. Amelia broke the stereo type boundaries and let the world know that she wasn’t afraid to be the best female aviator of her time. Her unexpected last flight was her attempt to fly around the world in 1937. Along the journey, Amelia and her partner Fred Noonan made sure to stop to have the Electra checked, refueled, and to tell everyone that they were safe (Candace Fleming 102).

There are many conspiracies to how she disappeared, but the most popular are that she landed on Gardner Island, crashed into the sea, or fell victim to the Japanese during the time of war.…

    Amelia Earhart was declared legally dead on January 5, 1939, after the most expensive air and sea search in American history. The first search for Amelia Earhart started on July 2, 1937, and was lead by the U.S Navy and Coast Guard. An additional search funded by George Putnam, Amelia Earhart's husband of six years, was also unsuccessful (“What Happened”). At the time of Amelia’s disappearance, she was one of the world's most famous female aviators. As a result of this fame, expectations were high that Amelia would be rescued. Several weeks of newspapers led the public to believe there was new evidence, later found inconclusive, resulting in disappointment. Many people deduced that Amelia and Fred ran out of fuel a crashed into the Pacific…

    Clara Barton Contributions

    An example of this is when she wanted to help the soldiers in the war by bringing supplies for them, but her request was rejected. She never stopped until she was able to help those soldiers in need. She was a very independent woman and had the courage to fight against people (men) who didn’t believe women could do as good of job as a man.

I also think that Clara clearly showed that actions are louder than words because many people say they want to help, but only a person with true passion for the cause can take words and put it into action as Clara Barton…
