The first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean was Amelia Earhart. This historic flight took place on May 20-21, 1932, from Newfoundland, Canada, to Ireland. Earhart's achievement was remarkable not only for the distance but also for being a significant milestone for women in aviation, as it demonstrated that women could succeed in traditionally male-dominated fields. Earhart was also known for her advocacy for women's rights and her numerous attempts to push the boundaries of aviation, leaving a lasting legacy in both aviation and women's empowerment.
