Still Missing: Amelia Earhart and the Search for Modern Feminism

by Susan Ware

This is a history of Amelia Earhart in the context of the history of feminism. Even though her name is in the title of the book, I never got a good sense of the famed aviator. And the feminist element? It seemed really repetitive.

Because I knew barely anything about AE, I certainly learned something from this book. However, I’m not sure that I’d classify this book as a biography. I’d probably file it under feminism. Additionally, this book is far too academic and dry for popular audiences.
