Today is #AmeliaEarhartDay.

#AmeliaEarhart was born #OTD in 1897 in #Atchinson #Kansas.

In Feb of 1931, Earhart married her longtime beau, George Putnam. They had an unusual marriage for the day: She kept her surname and continued flying airplanes after marriage. (Women then were expected to give up their careers as soon as they got married, and live a demur lifestyle.) Just before the wedding, she gave Putnam a typed note explaining her philosophy of marriage, and what she wanted for their relationship in the future (pictured).

She disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937. She was 39 years old.

Some of her better-known quotes include:

"Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done."

"Use your fear... it can take you to the place where you store your #courage."

"Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things."
