"Lady with Wings, the Life Story of My Wife, Amelia Earhart," 1939

01

Artifact Overview

Amelia Earhart married publisher George P. Putnam on February 7, 1931. She was a reluctant bride, fearing that marriage would derail her career. Earhart kept her last name and insisted on an equal partnership with her husband. Putnam agreed and the couple's relationship was professional as much as it was romantic. Earhart's husband supported her aviation activities and promoted them vigorously.
