Editing Amelia Earhart (section)

== Books by Earhart ==
Earhart was a successful and heavily promoted writer who served as aviation editor for ''[[Cosmopolitan (magazine)|Cosmopolitan]]'' from 1928 to 1930. She wrote magazine articles, newspaper columns, and essays, and published two books based upon her experiences as a flyer during her lifetime:
* ''[[20 Hrs. 40 Min.]]'' (1928) is a journal of her experiences as the first woman passenger on a transatlantic flight.
* ''[[The Fun of It]]'' (1932) is a memoir of her flying experiences and an essay on women in aviation.
* ''[[Last Flight (book)|Last Flight]]'' (1937) features the periodic journal entries she sent to the United States during her round-the-world flight attempt, and was published in newspapers in the weeks prior to her departure from [[New Guinea]]. The journal was compiled by Earhart's husband GP Putnam after her disappearance over the Pacific. Many historians consider this book to be only partially Earhart's original work.
