Amelia Earhart
Childhood
Amelia Earhart spent her early years in the town of Atchinson (Kansas). His childhood was marked by family
problems. His father had no job stability and travel was a constant. For this reason, he spent a good part of his time
with his maternal grandparents. His mother made an effort to give her a
home in which to live with all the comforts and affection of a family. For
this reason, when little Amelia was eight years old, she moved with her parents
to Des Moines, in Iowa.Years later, new difficulties came to the Earhart family.
His father lost his job and began to have a problem with alcohol. Because of this,
the family moved several times. However, not finding a new job,
Amelia's mother moved with her and her sister to Chicago.From a very young
age, Amelia showed her restless personality and defied the conventions
of the time.
