What human qualities (characteristics) were most influential in shaping the way Amelia lived and influenced her time?
Amelia Earhart was often regarded by her peers as a tomboy, and her seemingly masculine body made her resemble Charles Lindbergh, the first aviator to cross the Atlantic. Her resemblance to the famous pilot set her apart from other aviatrixes and caught Hilton Riley's attention, resulting in his proposal to sponsor her on her journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Earhart was also seen as a bit of a dare-devil, and was not afraid to try new things, and setting out on life-threatening adventures. Earhart was also seen as charismatic, and was adored by many politicians as well as the public for her charming personality and humor. All of these characteristics combined paved Earhart's path to fame and fortune as she flew across the ocean and marked her place in history forever.
In addition, Earhart was also known to to very impatient and rash, much to her mentor's chagrin. Her independent behavior also helped her achieve her goal, as she very rarely relied on others, and was determined to prove that women were not as helpless as society had decided.
