SUMMARY:Meet Amelia Earhart
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Elsa Wolff: Arguably the most famous Aviatrix of her time\, Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) was much more than a noted pilot. She pushed through social barriers and served as a role model and inspiration to many – both men and women – because of her courage\, determination and spirit of adventure. In a time when girls were expected to behave like ladies\, Amelia pushed through social expectations even from a young age. Overcoming a family who moved frequently and an alcoholic father\, she continued to look for meaning and adventure in her life. Amelia’s life story reveals the developing world view from the turn of the century into the Great Depression\, including: the development of the machine age and aviation; the rising role of women in unconventional careers; and the impact of marketing on public image. She became an American hero during a time when there was a national obsession with record setting/breaking as the world was suddenly looking at Americans as trend-setters\, whereas for centuries America had been trying to emulate Europe. Amelia spoke out with passion on the issues of women striving for equality in education\, career opportunity and wages. A supporter of the nation’s new airline industry\, she also helped pave the way for people to look at travel by airplane as a viable and reliable means of transportation. \nStoryteller\, singer and speaker for over 10 years\, Elsa Wolff\, who enjoys bringing literature to life for children and adults alike\, has recently developed the Character of Amelia Earhart for Living History Presentation. Elsa shows the same courage\, poise and spirit of adventure as Amelia Earhart and will captivate the audience with her personable portrayal of aviation’s “Queen of the Air.”
