On 18 June 1928, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by air, though she insisted she was only a passenger. The real pilot was Wilmer Stultz, and Earhart was publicly uncomfortable with the fame that followed. She called herself baggage and spent the next four years planning to do it properly, alone. In 1932, she did exactly that. The episode also revisits 18 June 1858, when Charles Darwin received Alfred Russel Wallace’s paper on natural selection and panicked that his twenty years of work would be eclipsed. Their findings were presented jointly to the Linnean Society weeks later. On the same date in 1948, Columbia Records demonstrated the long-playing record album at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, replacing fragile shellac seventy-eights with vinyl LPs that could hold twenty-two minutes per side. Finally, on 18 June 1873, Susan B. Anthony was fined one hundred dollars for voting in the 1872 presidential election. She refused to pay. The authorities never collected it. Three women, three centuries, each refusing to accept the limits placed in front of them.
