Earhart prenup

2012-12-14 18:25:27.461706+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Amelia Earhart's prenup:

The publisher George Palmer Putnam proposed to Amelia Earhart six times before she agreed to marry him. First, she served him a letter detailing “some things which should be writ before we are married.” She would not be faithful: “I want you to understand I shall not hold you to any midaevil code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly,” Earhart wrote.
