Actress and historian Monica Hoffman performs as Amelia Earhart in a one woman show that reveals the life and legacy of the world's most celebrated female aviator. Amelia Earhart was a woman of inspiring courage and incredible zest for life. In her lifetime she accomplished many amazing feats, including: becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean; becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; and becoming the first woman to fly solo from Los Angeles to Mexico and Mexico to Newark. Before her mysterious disappearance somewhere over the Pacific Ocean on her ill-fated 1937 round the world flight, she had established herself as more than just a great aviator; she was a revered pioneer for women with a determined spirit to seize every opportunity life granted her. "Determined Spirit: The Story of Amelia Earhart" is a chance to know Amelia Earhart in a true and personal way. And perhaps find yourself touched by her enduring message of bravery in pursuit of dreams. Sponsored by the Friends of the Cranford Public Library.
