Eleanor Cutri Smeal, supersisters No. 35

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 Eleanor Cutri Smeal, a women’s rights activist and previous President of the National Organization for Women (NOW).
