First she went around the world and she also crossed the Atlantic when she was 31 years and she even built a roller coaster when she was only 8 years old
Amelia lived through a major war, the advent of real flight, the start of many new things. It would take a book to begin to list them all.
one obstacle was being a girl.
Well, dying was a pretty major problem for her.
Engineering, but she did not graduate owing to financial difficulties.
Consult the Amelia Earhart Birthplace museum. They have a replica of this home-made amusement which probably could have been patented as a portative Carnival attraction. She would have been in her teens. Sister Muriel (pidge) collaborated on this project. Againthere is a replica at the museum. A neat improvised amusement device that could have been patented and maybe sold to, say A Major carnival chain.

Amelia Earhart accomplished many things in her short life time. Before she even got her pilot's license she set the record for highest altitude for a woman at 14,000 feet. She was the first woman to fly solo across the United States and back. Her flight across the Atlantic notes that she was a passenger, but it is highly doubted she was a passenger the entire way.
I believe her most important achievement was being the major force behind the '99' Association. This helped many female aviators and many of them went on to famous also.

It is discussed in a book by Doris Rich, oddly about Jacqueline Cochran, (another famous woman pilot) that in the latter portion of her career, Amelia was involved with the design and marketing of a photometer- a light meter for photography, the idea was to sell it with her name on the device or as an endorsement. She is not noted as a photographer, but of course cameras were carried on the Electra. The photometer would be for civil and amateur photography., not espionage. It is not known what became of the project, possibly after her departure, the name Amelia Earhart may have acquired a foul taste residual, as she was lost. The subject is discussed in some detail in the Cochran bio by Doris Rich. I have no other sources for this device. Needless to say, I have never seen one. In her period Weston, ( do not confuse with Western Electric) was a major manufacturer of light meters for shutterbugs.
