Items related to East to the Dawn: The Life of Amelia Earhart
The image we have of Amelia Earhart today a tousle-haired, androgynous flier clad in shirt, silk scarf, leather jacket, and goggles is only one of her many personas, most of which have been lost to us over time. Through years of research and interviews with many of the surviving people who knew Amelia, Susan Butler has recreated a remarkably vivid and multifaceted portrait of this enigmatic figure. We see Earhart in all her roles, not just as a pilot but also as an educator, social worker, lecturer, businesswoman, and tireless promoter of women s rights. She was a remarkably energetic and enterprising woman who battled incredible odds to achieve her fame, succeeded beyond her wildest dreams, and yet never lost sight of her beginnings, ensuring that her success would secure a path for women after her.
