Who am I?
During the American Civil War, I made a name for myself as a battlefield nurse on the frontlines. Many called me the 'Florence Nightingale of America.'My greatest achievement however took place on this day in 1881 when I officially formed the American Red Cross.

Amelia Earhart had already made a name for herself after a successful transatlantic flight in 1928, but in 1932 she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. She landed in Culmore, North Ireland on this day.
