Section 9 is up.
My father was always rather disdainful of Earhardt, feeling that there were other female aviators of that era who were more deserving of fame than she, and that her fame was more or less a publicity stunt. Interesting to see that she felt the same way.

Can't blame her, either! Section 9 is PL OK

I couldn't help snickering over the whole G. Putnam thing, and rather interesting (in light of her future disappearance and all the speculations regarding that) to see her approach to preparation for a major adventure.

Section 11 is up. More hijinks.
Yes, hard to know what to make of her. On the one hand, she is brave and adventurous - on the other, quite thoughtless and impulsive. But maybe the one set of characteristics goes hand in hand with the other? Always having been a somewhat overly cautious person, I'm not sure I am a credible critic of her choices.

Well.... I admit that even before this section, the light that this biography has been showing her actions/choices in has more than once brought the thought to mind that, "hmm.... not so hard to see that she ended up going missing as she did.... no big conspiracy theory support there."
I haven't known if that's a fair assessment, not seeing if she "matures" in her preparation/caution before the last trip, but yes - there is a pronounced lack of taking prudent precautions, let alone being prepared for the myriad of things that could be expected to go wrong. And then assigning it to fate or higher powers testing her.... ? My mind is far too pragmatic to take that attitude seriously.

It's like we're watching a perpetual teen doing stuff, versus an actuated adult. Is that fair? That's what it seems like so far.

Ha! I'm laughing, because: yeah! Her poor parents. They must have always worried about her. I imagine her mother thought that her disappearance was perfectly expected (without meaning to diminish its tragedy).
I'm absolutely certain she wasn't the only one like that at the time. Or any time - my 56yo cousin is exactly the same way with his hang gliders.
And Section 12 is PL OK
