her lasting fame in popular culture. Hundreds of articles and scores of books have been written
about her life, which is often cited as a motivational tale, especially for girls. Earhart is generally
regarded as a feminist icon.

Earhart's accomplishments in aviation inspired a generation of female aviators, including the
more than 1,000 women pilots of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) who ferried
military aircraft, towed gliders, flew target practice aircraft, and served as transport pilots
during World War II.

The home where Earhart was born is now the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum and is
maintained by The Ninety-Nines, an international group of female pilots of whom Earhart was
the first elected president.
