Amelia seems to have been what we today would call a "tomboy." She loved to build things, and while she studied the subjects girls of her era were supposed to study, the museum devoted to her life notes that she enjoyed playing sports with the boys. In a 1927 interview with a Boston newspaper, she said she enjoyed horseback riding, and she also enjoyed Golf and tennis. She also had tried sailing. (In fact, newspapers of that time referred to her as not just a "flyer", as it was then spelled, but as a "sportswoman.") She told the interviewer she began flying airplanes almost as if that too was a sport; she said she enjoyed trying new things and she loved adventure.
