Supersisters

[1] The cards were created by Lois Rich of Irvington, New York and her sister Barbara Egerman of Ridgefield, Connecticut, a teacher, librarian, and founder of the Ohio chapter of the National Organization for Women.

Rich and Egerman received a small grant from the New York State Education Department and wrote to nearly 500 prominent American women in various fields.

[1][2][3] They purposely did not contact a number of notable women, including Anita Bryant, Angela Davis, Phyllis Schlafly, and the cast of Charlie's Angels.

Jane Fonda, Betty Ford, Rosalynn Carter, and Ella T. Grasso were among those who did not respond or declined to participate.

[6][7] Sets of the trading cards are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the University of Iowa library.
