Most people know Amelia Earhart as the trailblazing pilot who vanished over the Pacific in 1937 — her plane still missing to this day. In this program for adults, Dr. Margie Arnold explores Earhart’s remarkable life beyond aviation, from her work as a Boston social worker and engagement to a Marblehead man, to her advocacy for women’s rights and her ventures into fashion and design. Join us to discover how Amelia Earhart’s determination and vision helped her defy expectations and inspire generations to dream boldly.
Don’t miss this fascinating talk—perfect for history lovers!
