A. Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who set many flying records and championed the advancement of women in aviation. She became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and the first person ever to fly solo from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland. During a flight to circumnavigate the globe, Earhart disappeared somewhere over the Pacific in July 1937. Her plane was never found. Her disappearance remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century.
B. Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl, her sister, and her parents moved to the Netherlands from Germany after Adolf Hitler and the Nazis came to power there in 1933 and made life increasingly difficult for Jews. In 1942, Frank and her family went into hiding in a secret apartment behind her father's business in German-occupied Amsterdam. The Franks were discovered in 1944 and sent to concentration camps; and, by 1945, only Anne's father survived. Anne Frank's diary of her family's time while hiding from the Nazis during World War II, first published in 1947, has been translated into almost 70 languages and is one of the most widely read accounts of the Holocaust.
С. Sir Edmund Hillary was an explorer and mountain climber. Together with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, he was the first to climb to the summit of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Sir Edmund Hillary was born in 1919 and grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. It was in New Zealand that he became interested in mountain climbing. Although he made his living as a beekeeper, he climbed mountains in New Zealand, then in the Alps, and finally in the Himalayas. By this time, Hillary was ready to confront the world's highest mountain and it was his real true goal. Fortunately, he managed to accomplish it.
D. Rosa Parks was an American civil rights activist whose refusal to give up her seat on a public bus precipitated the Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organise the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Led by a young Dr Martin Luther King Jr., the boycott lasted more than a year and ended only when the U.S. Supreme Court claimed that bus segregation was unconstitutional. Over the next half-century, Parks became a nationally recognised symbol of dignity and strength in the struggle to end entrenched racial segregation.
E. Sally Ride studied at Stanford University before beating out 1,000 other applicants for a spot in NASA's astronaut program. After rigorous training, Ride joined the Challenger shuttle mission on June 18, 1983, and became the first American woman in space. She made her journey into history on June 18, 1983. She was the third woman in space overall, after USSR cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Throughout her life, Dr Ride worked to ensure that girls and women can also reach the stars and fought tirelessly to help them get there by advocating for a greater focus on math and physics at schools.
F. Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer who was the first to reach the South Pole, the first to make a ship voyage through the Northwest Passage, and one of the first to cross the Arctic by air. Amundsen was an expert traveller and survivor in the harshest environments on earth. His legacy was that, with sufficient careful planning and the correct equipment, it was possible to reach goals under the most difficult circumstances. Amundsen remains one of the greatest individuals in the field of polar exploration.
G. Jane Goodall was a British ethnologist. Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, Goodall is best known for her 60-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees since she first went to Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania in 1960, where she witnessed human-like behaviours amongst chimpanzees, including armed conflict. Goodall's fascination with animal behaviour began in early childhood. In her leisure time, she observed native birds and animals, making extensive notes and sketches, and read widely in the literature of zoology and ethology.
