Nothing particularly impressive about this at all - at least no more so than if any other person flies round the world. And a fair number of people, both male and female, have done that. If her name wasn't Amelia Earhart it wouldn't even make it to the papers.

(Edited to remove the word 'solo', even that wasn't the case!)
