From the Paper
"The life and aviation career of Amelia Earhart left a tremendous impact on the world of aviation. While there were other female pilots before Earhart, many of them faster or more decorated, Earhart's popularity with the public helped expand the role of women in aviation more than any female flier of her era. When the Wright Brothers' plane took to the air women were still prohibited the vote and viewed as inferior to men,when it came to what was considered a male occupation like ..."

" Triumph and Tragedy of Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart's life was full of contradictions. It contained great triumphs and ended in great tragedy. Amelia Earhart and her husband, George Putnam, created the image of Amelia Earhart. Her image of the female aviatrix, which gave her a platform for dispersing her views on a woman's place in society, was a triumph for Amelia Earhart and for the feminist movement. The creation, of this famous image, allowed Amelia Earhart to pursue and gain financial backing for a career in aviation. Amelia Earhart's public image, and, her record breaking flights had a synergetic effect on her life. Her life of independence was upheld as an example to women. Amelia Earhart's failed attempt to circumnavigate the globe, which ended her life, was a terrible tragedy. "

Abstract
In this review of Mary S. Lovell's book, "The Sound of Wings", the writer suggests that Lovell is not so much interested in Amelia Earhart's aviation career and accomplishments, but rather in the developing cult of personality in America of the 1920s. The reviewer describes Lovell's treatment of Earhart's relationship with her husband, George Palmer Putman, and his impact on her career. Furthermore, the writer suggests that by concentrating on Earhart's relationship with her husband and his attempts to promote her for commercial reasons, and by not examining her contributions to the development of aviation, Lovell denigrates Earhart's legacy.
From the Paper
"Lovell's work chronicles the evolving implications of Amelia Earhart's husband George Palmer Putnam on her career. Putnam emerges in the text as a pure showman, eventually divorcing his first wife, heir to the Crayola empire, to pursue a more lucrative career exploiting Earhart's supposed technical prowess at an aircraft's controls. In fact, Lovell suggests that even before Earhart became an aviatrix, Lovell had already begun to pen the supposed autobiography of Amelia's first flight, which would propel her to world fame. After gaining fame as a pioneer of women's liberation, Earhart was called to speak to countless audiences, and became a tireless endorser of everything from cigarettes to clothes."

Abstract
In the novel, "Vanity Fair," one of William Makepeace Thackeray's moral purposes is to demonstrate the consequences of human vanity and its counterpart, self-interest. This paper shows how Thackeray explores various forms of human vanity and selfishness, focusing on the character of Amelia Sedley.
From the Paper
"In this context, we see Amelia's foolish vanity in arraying her ass, George, in the persona of a manly idol. Even though his love for her is shallow and prompted by his own vanity, he has condescended to let her love him, to let her imagination array him in noble attributes that he does not possess. She in turn shows excessive pride in George's appearance and achievements, both real and imagined. Amelia's obsessive idolatry is the epitome of vanity. How could she, the virtuous good girl, love any being who is less than the perfect man? A faltering, awkward fellow such as Dobbin could not hope to win the affections of a woman who worships an ideal lover that she has created, and who resides, in her mind."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that all of the events of westward expansion and manifest destiny are very important, but the most significant event which caused westward expansion in the late 1840s was the California Gold Rush. The writer focuses on the women that were involved in the gold rush and what their actual roles were. The writer notes that this is very important because most people do not realize how women like Louise Amelia Clappe and others like her affected the gold rush and what took place at that time in history. The writer concludes that the extreme greed that over took many people, the violence and tragedy that broke out over the desire for wealth, and the destruction of the native people of California made the California gold rush one of the most tumultuous times in history.
From the Paper
"The most famous tales of the California Gold Rush say that in January of 1848, James Marshall, who was an employee of John Sutter, was building a sawmill. This incomplete mill was what would later become known as Sutter's Mill, and it is where the first piece of gold that consequently started the California Gold Rush was found. Sutter received the property from the Mexican government, as he talked them into granting him 48,000 acres in the Sacramento Valley. Unfortunately, the land that the Mexican government granted to Sutter was already owned by Indians who had been in that area a great deal longer than any Mexican or American settlers. The ranch that Sutter lived on was run and staffed almost entirely by Indians. There is some discrepancy about whether or not Sutter treated his Indian workers well, or whether they were used more as slaves."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of Louise Amelia Knapp Smith Clappe's series of letters presented in booklet form entitled The Shirley Letters from the California Mines. In this article, the writer examines the central question of whether or not Shirley, given her esoteric education and background, is particularly well suited to the task of assessing the relative merits and demerits of rugged gold prospectors in 1850s Rich Bar California.
From the Paper
"There is little doubt that Dame Shirley is far too removed socially, culturally, educationally, from the proletarian male miners surrounding her to be an accurate chronicler of them or their world. This becomes immediately apparent on only the third page of the text when Shirley writes rhetorically, "How did such a shivering, frail, home-loving little thistle ever float safely to that far away spot, and take root....in that barbarous soil?". She describes her impecunious husband's office as being a "perfect marvel" to the ragged miners. Making little - if any - effort to understand the depressed socio-economic realities of her new world, she notes with disdain that, "you have no idea of the hand to mouth sort of style in which most men in this country are in the habit of living"."

From the Paper
"Much has been written about efforts undertaken by women activists in the United States and elsewhere to achieve the rights and privileges of full citizenship, specifically the right to vote. Linda Kerber commented that in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, American women advanced the claims of rights against the state arguing that the denial of the franchise to women should be regarded as unconstitutional and that the law of domestic relations which had positioned women as under obligation only to ...
