Historical Figures 20 Questions

Well ... fuck me with a broomstick, Matilda. I have no idea what to ask next, with only 7 left.

Let's do a summary:
Born Jan 1 1850 to Dec 31 1924 inclusive, and dead today.
North American.
A cultural figure, and a minor author, though not best known for his writing.
Did many famous things, but best remembered for one thing.
Not an artist in any sense, politician, scientist or archaeologist.

I have no clue where to go. Someone else should ask a question. I guess that makes this post kind of pointless...  :uhm:
 
I'll issue a clue, then.

This person is best remembered for famous firsts, and a famous first that never was.
 
That's interesting because the person has not invented something. :)

Hmm, let me see.

14. Was the person a philosopher?
 
Ok, not to LC, but to everyone else, could this person be a sports figure, like Jackie Robinson, first African-American to play Major League baseball?  Or some one like Rosa Parks?  I am just trying to think of 'cultural figures' of that era....Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcom X.  I dunno.

Yes, it is!

Amelia Earhart was the first woman to cross the Atlantic, and an pioneering aviatrix.  She disappeared while trying to circumnavigate the globe in 1938, and is primarily remembered for that.
