Gladys Noon Spellman, supersisters No. 33

This ephemera is from the original supersisters trading card set which aimed to empower women and girls by highlighting accomplished women in a wide variety of fields. The cards were created by sisters  Lois Rich and Barbara Egerman after Lois’ 8-year old daughter, Melissa, asked why there weren’t any women on baseball trading cards. This card features Gladys Noon Spellman, an accomplished politician who served in the U.S House of Representatives. She advocated for public congressional meetings and changes in the seniority system.
