[308]Following her parents' divorce in 1924, she drove her mother in the "Yellow Peril" on a transcontinental trip from California with stops throughout the western United States and a jaunt up to Banff, Alberta. The meandering tour eventually brought the pair to Boston, Massachusetts, where Earhart underwent another sinus operation which was more successful. After recuperation, she returned to Columbia University for several months but was forced to abandon her studies and any further plans for enrolling at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, because her mother could no longer afford the tuition fees and associated costs. Soon after, she found employment first as a teacher, then as a social worker in 1925 at Denison House, a Boston settlement house. [60] At this time, she lived in Medford, Massachusetts.

Amelia Could Fly So Frida Could Create So Maya Could Write So Ruth Could Dissent So Michelle Could Speak Shirt The USCGC Itasca was on station at Howland. Its task was to communicate with Earhart's Electra and guide them to the island once they arrived in the vicinity. Noonan and Earhart expected to do voice communications on 3105kHz during the night and 6210kHz during the day. Countless other tributes and memorials have been made in Amelia Earhart's name, including a 2012 tribute by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking at a State Department event celebrating the ties of Earhart and the United States to its Pacific neighbors, noting: "Earhart ... created a legacy that resonates today for anyone, girls and boys, who dreams of the stars." [291] In 2013, Flying magazine ranked Earhart No. 9 on its list of the "51 Heroes of Aviation". [12] The following list is not considered definitive, but serves also to give significant examples of tributes and honors.

The Rosalind Russell film Flight for Freedom (1943) derived from a treatment, "Stand by to Die", was a fictionalized treatment of Earhart's life. [210] A slightly different version of the Japanese capture hypothesis is not that the Japanese captured Earhart, but rather that they shot down her plane. Henri Keyzer-Andre, a former Pan Am pilot, propounded this view in his 1993 book Age Of Heroes: Incredible Adventures of a Pan Am Pilot and his Greatest Triumph, Unravelling the Mystery of Amelia Earhart. [263] Earhart apparently did not understand the limitations of the RDF equipment. Earhart asked Itasca to transmit an RDF beacon at 7500kHz, but the plane's RDF system could not determine the direction of such a HF signal. Earhart had failed to find a minimum (the transmitter direction) during a test of the RDF at Lae( Chater 1937) and the plane also failed to find a minimum while listening to Itasca while near Howland. From the given coordinates, the great circle distance is 4,124 kilometres (2,563mi; 2,227nmi). See "Calculate distance, bearing and more between Latitude/Longitude points". movable-type.co.uk .

L. A. Abbott letter dated August 3, 1937, and quoting A. R. Collins: "When Miss Earhart arrived at Darwin it was necessary to ask why there had been no radio communication with the Government Direction Finding Wireless Station under my control. (Miss Earhart had been advised of the facilities and the Station's wave length prior to departure from Koepang). Miss Earhart regretted that the D/F receiver installed in her aircraft was not functioning therefore an inspection of this received [ sic] was carried out and a ground test arranged between the aircraft and the D/F wireless station. It was discovered that the fuse for the D/F generator had blown and upon renewal in Miss Earhart's presence the ground test was completed. Miss Earhart was advised to inspect fuse in event of further trouble."
