**THE AUTHOR**

Accepting a position as an associate editor at "Cosmopolitan," she turned this forum into an opportunity to campaign for greater public acceptance of aviation, especially focusing on the role of women entering the field. Earhart was a successful and heavily promoted writer. She published two books based upon her experiences as a flyer during her lifetime: "20 Hrs. 40 Min." (1928), a journal of her experiences as the first woman passenger on a transatlantic flight (from where the rare photographs, republished here with their original captions, are taken), and "The Fun of It" (1932), a memoir of her flying experiences and an essay on women in aviation. "Last Flight" (1937), which features the periodic journal entries she sent back to the United States during her world flight attempt, published in newspapers in the weeks prior to her final departure from New Guinea, was compiled by her husband GP Putnam after she disappeared over the Pacific, and many historians consider this book to be only partially Earhart’s original work.
