Elly Peterson, supersisters No. 20

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 Elly Peterson, Co-chair of ERAmerica, an organization that worked for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S Constitution.
