supersisters™ #NowistheTime
Yesterday we shared several permissioned quotes of inspiration from some of the original supersisters. Today we share a few more! It is interesting to see how timely many of these quotes seem today.
This holiday, as you gather with family and friends and hopefully partake in multi-generational conversations, we hope you may share and discuss some of these empowering words from some ground-breaking, glass ceiling shattering, powerful women who played a role in inspiring a movement for equal rights for women and girls today.
Then, join us as we celebrate the past, look to the future & continue to create inspiration, innovation, & impact from the supersisters™ brand for years to come through a (re)launch of supersisters™.

Last week was Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (11/19/23) and today is Small Business Saturday (11/25/23). We love to support women-led small businesses!
We took the opportunity to once again honor supersisters founders, Lois Rich & Barbara Egerman for having the courage to launch supersisters with no prior entrepreneurial experience.
The Today Show coverage of supersisters from 1980 (watch below) was certainly a highlight. We are so proud of the eloquence with which Lois & Barbara spoke of their unexpected success in creating an inspiring, innovative, impactful and LASTING educational brand promoting women and girls’ empowerment.
Over the next few months, we will share more of the original supersisters media coverage, some good, some bad, and some awkwardly backhanded.
This is a reminder to Friends of supersisters to shop the supersisters store (https://supersisters.bigcartel.com) for limited-edition reprints of the uncut poster featuring the complete set of the original 72 supersisters™ cards (circa 1979) and throw-back style supersisters apparel in time for the 2022 holidays.
The two-sided 24in x 36in poster features each of the original 72 supersisters card images on the front and the corresponding biography of the featured supersister on the back.
The limited-edition (numbered) reprint of the original uncut supersisters poster is a great gift for multiple generations.
The poster is also a great gift for educators to include in their classroom activities to remind girls and boys of the amazing contributions of 72 women who shattered glass ceilings in the 1970’s to better our lives today. Consider the Educator's Pack to share with the educators in your community.
Visit the supersisters website to place your order by 12/15/23 for posters and 12/1/23 for apparel to guarantee shipment by 12/25/23. (Deadlines may change pending supply.)
Proceeds from the poster & apparel sales will continue to help fund our relaunch efforts for another generation of sup
Today is Women’s Entrepreneurship Day.
Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is celebrated on November 19 every year to recognize the achievement of women entrepreneurs and to support the efforts of women to build their business ventures.
It is said that great businesses MUST start with the question: “What problem are you trying to solve?”
Today we want to once again recognize supersisters co-founders, Lois Rich and Barbara Egerman for their amazing entrepreneurial spirit back in a day when the idea of women starting a scalable business from their home was extremely rare.
In 1978, the two real-life sisters were responding to a question posed by Lois’ daughter (then 8 years old): “Why aren’t there pictures of girls on (trading) cards? It isn’t fair.”
Lois and Barbara agreed that there was noticeably limited representation of women and girls in mainstream media, marketing, toys, and textbooks and therefore girls had limited opportunity to learn about established and up-and-coming women leaders.
Lois and Barbara sought a solution. The rest is #HERstory!
With the help of a small NYS Department of Education grant, the two sisters founded supersisters and quickly created an internationally recognized brand in Women & Girls’ Empowerment since 1979.
Shop the supersisters store for limited-edition reprints of the uncut poster proof featuring the complete set of the original 72 supersisters™ cards (circa 1979) and throw-back style supersisters apparel in time for the 2023 holidays.
Link to the supersisterscards website in comments.
Stay Tuned as we follow in Lois and Barbara’s footsteps as we re-launch the supersisters brand with some new tech inspired ideas for the next generation of women and girls who are growing up digitally native!

11/10/23 is Veterans Day in the United States. Today, we say “Thank you for your service” to ALL veterans who have served.
Did you know that in addition to Veteran’s Day, there is also a Women’s Veterans Recognition Day, celebrated June 12th? Women's Veterans Recognition Day celebrates the date that President Harry S. Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law allowing women to serve as regular members of the military (June 12, 1948)? Per the VA, Women Veterans Recognition Day is NOT a separate Veterans Day for women. The signing of the Act deemed women essential to the war efforts and allowed them to serve in the regular armed forces full time. It is a day of recognition of this moment in time.

Yesterday, we celebrated another amazing feat by Billie Jean King.
September 20, 1973 commemorates a day that has become known as “Battle of the Sexes”
A link to AP coverage of this event in history along with a 50th anniversary push to honor BJK with a Congressional Gold Medal is below, but today we once again share WTA’s Rosie Casals’ personal account of the event from her August 2023 personal newsletter.
https://apnews.com/article/king-battle-of-sexes-congressional-award-7a896a2b523557b5f97054f9a0f81a67
From Rosie Casals (#supersisters card #19):
What happened at the Houston Astrodome in September didn't just stay in the Astrodome. it went nationwide, worldwide and into the reaches of everyone that was curious about who was better...the 29 year old Number 1 women's player in the world or the 55 year old who had talked Margaret Court out of the match? [But] Billie Jean talked back with her racket and grit! She defeated the male chauvinist pig and liberated women all over the world. Where were you when this phenomenon happened? I was there as a color commentator with the "Great" Howard Cosell and ABC's Wild World of Sports! All of it a memorable experience.
Congratulations Billie Jean King for 50 years of change for women!

Happy Birthday (9/13/23) to Gymnast and Olympian, Kathy Johnson - supersister card #50.
Kathy was and always will be one of our favorite supersisters.
[OK - they are all our favorites! But Kathy holds a special place in our hearts.]
We were so lucky to get to meet Kathy Johnson in September 2019 at the NYC taping of the @_bbcsports supersisters radio documentary, filmed at @girlsclubny.
While spending two full days with Kathy and Olympic swimmer, Wendy Boglioli, supersisters card #17 - was enough to make us all fangirls, Lois Rich’s granddaughter, Natalie was truly in heaven!
Checkout the video below of Kathy's moves and her personal instriction during the taping of the documentary. Practice was conducted during the taping @ water breaks :)
While we will never say it out loud, Natalie is not likely to grow up to be an Olympic Gymnast (she now has her heart set on becoming an equestrian - watch out Melanie Smith, supersisters card #65).
Nevertheless, what 7 year old aspiring gymnast at any level would not love to meet a gymnastics idol and to believe even for a moment, or a weekend, or for the next few years - that maybe, just maybe,she could grow up to be just like Kathy! Happy Birthday Kathy!

In anticipation of today’s #USOpen women’s tennis finals between Coco Gauff & Aryna Sabalenka, we share reflections on equality in women’s sports from Women’s Tennis Association Founding Member & #supersisters card #19, #RosieCasals.
Last month, Rosie shared her personal newsletter with us after returning home from Wimbledon 2023.
After an exuberant firsthand recap of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the founding of The WTA at Wimbledon, Rosie goes on to celebrate her long-time opponent & 1972 US Open Doubles Partner, #BillieJeanKing - who’s actions that year laid the groundwork for the 1st Grand Slam tennis tournament (1st sporting event EVER) to offer equal pay to women & men - the 1973 US Open!
See Rosie’s personal account of the extraordinary actions that changed women’s tennis & ensured the winner of the match between #Gauff / #Sabalenka will earn the same $3M prize as the winner of the men’s final.
“In 1973 the US Open was the 1st Grand Slam Tournament to give #EqualPrize money to the women. In 1972 when Billie Jean won the women's singles she got $10K & Ilie Nastase got $25K.
[From AP: When [BJK] won the US Open in 1972, she didn’t make the usual remarks about hoping to win again. Instead, she threatened to not play at all the next year - & added that no other women would either if equal prize money would not be offered to women in the 1973 US Open.]
Per Rosie: Billie Jean told Bill Talbert, the US Open Tournament Director that she had Ban Deodorant (Brystol Myers Companies) who would put up the money [for the women’s prize.] It worked out well that Marv Koslow was a friend & CEO of the company who loved to play tennis & loved women's tennis.”
We love #BJK’s own commentary on the day: “I said: ‘This really stinks…And, of course, deep down in my heart of hearts, in my brain, I’m going, ‘I haven’t talked to [the other women] yet. You sure you’re doing the right thing here?...What if they don’t agree wit
Things we did not know...
Speaking of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup finalists (Spain v. England), we turn to thegist for another interesting story of women’s fight to play Futbol.
Did you know that women’s soccer was banned in the U.K. for 50 years from 1921-1971?!
https://www.thegistsports.com/article/the-history-behind-the-uks-womens-soccer-ban/
It reads like a Hollywood script [Madonna, Rosie, Geena, Tom?!]
Over a century before England’s latest WWC and Euro successes, British women were blazing trails and setting soccer attendance records.
Women started kicking the ball around in the late 1800s, but the sport really exploded during World War I. With men’s competitive footy suspended from 1915 to 1919 due to the Great War, British women stepped up to fill the gap.
Even after the war ended and the men eventually returned to the pitch, the women’s game was still booming.
And of course, that’s where things fell apart. Men returned to both factories and footy after the war, but the women’s company-sponsored matches were still drawing record crowds — often surpassing the audiences at men’s league games.
On December 5th, 1921, the FA banned women’s footy from all FA–affiliated grounds, saying “the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and should not be encouraged.”
While the FA couldn’t completely ban women from playing, it did halt the incredible momentum of women’s soccer by rendering crowds of any real measure impossible.
The FA finally lifted the ban in 1971, but women’s footy in the U.K. struggled [another 50 years] to rise to its previous heights.
During the 1995 Women’s World Cup, English players did not have a bus to take them to their quarter-final match.
-Players were considered amateurs until 2000.
-The first youth programs did not begin until 2000.
-The Women’s Super League was only created in 2010.
-And, not until 2018, [a mere 5 years ago] did women’s clubs become pro (thanks to in
Happy belated birthday (August 9, 1935 – September 19, 2015) to Marathoner, Miki Gorman (supersiste(rs card #46).
Gorman was the 2012 NYRR (New York Road Runners) Hall of Fame inductee, the only female marathon runner to win both the Boston Marathon and the New York Marathon, twice!
Today, Gorman remains an inspiration to many women. #SeeHerBeHer
Miki Gorman’s NYRR bio states: “My husband pushed me into running because my social life was very limited,” Gorman recalled. “I tried exercise class, but it was boring. I enjoyed running, although I sometimes got dirty looks because I was a woman running.” Someone even went so far as to suggest she should be home in the kitchen—but Gorman didn’t let it get to her. “I tried to ignore attitudes like that,” she said.
Also per NYRR Miki was inducted into the National Distance Running Hall of Fame in 2010 and the NYRR Hall of Fame in 2012. Yet for all her accomplishments, she remains overlooked as a women’s distance running pioneer. In 2018, the New York Times published her obituary three years after her death as part of its “Overlooked” series.

On 8/1/23, the family of Henrietta Lacks reached a long overdue settlement with Thermo Fisher Scientific, a medical science company accused of profiting off the study of Ms. Lack’s cells in the development of numerous widely commercialized life-saving pharmaceuticals, without permission from Ms. Lock or her descendants for over 70 years.
The story, made known by a 2010 book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”, an HBO movie featuring Oprah Winfrey & yesterday’s announcement of the settlement reveal that “Lacks was being treated for cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins University in 1951 when doctors removed cells from her tumor without her knowledge or permission. Those cells — now known as HeLa cells — had remarkable properties that allowed them to be endlessly reproduced and have since been used for a variety of scientific breakthroughs, including research about the human genome & the development of the polio & COVID-19 vaccines.”
“Lacks' descendants have argued that she and other Black women were "preyed on" by a group of white doctors in the 1950s and that her family was never compensated for the use of her genetic material, which made such profitable scientific advancements possible.” - NPR
A page honoring Henrietta Lacks’ memory on the Johns Hopkins website (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/henriettalacks/), even today, seems to justify the taking and sharing of Ms Lacks’ cells without her knowledge, indicating “Johns Hopkins has never sold or profited from the discovery or distribution of HeLa cells.
[ …] Rather, Johns Hopkins offered HeLa cells freely and widely for scientific research.”
The site then goes on to say “Johns Hopkins applauds and regularly participates in efforts to raise awareness of the life and story of Henrietta Lacks. Having reviewed our interactions with Henrietta Lacks and with the Lacks family over more than 50 years, we found that Johns Hopkins could have – and should have – done more to inform a
#Barbie Yay or Nay?
Bringing in over $155M this weekend, the Barbie movie had the #1 opening of 2023 & the biggest debut ever for a female director #GretaGerwig. Bravo Barbie!
While Barbie’s history may be fraught with flaws dating back to 1950’s norms, we celebrate Mattel’s evolution of the brand since its inception & culminating in this movie.
Did you know that Barbie has had >200 careers since her 1959 launch as a fashion model? While Barbie’s early careers were historically “female careers” (ie teacher & nurse), Mattel also introduced groundbreaking careers like Astronaut Barbie in ‘65 (4yrs before NASA’s lunar landing) & CEO Barbie in ‘85. Barbie also first ran for Pres in ‘92.
Did you also know that Barbies now come in 25 skin tones, 97 hairstyles & 9 body types to recognize race, ethnicity, culture, physical & occupational diversity?
AND did you ALSO know that after Mattel launched the 1st Barbie modeled after IRL artist, Twiggy in '67, Barbie dolls have been created in the likeness of many IRL women, to allow young girls to “SEE” that THEY too could be anything they want to be? We think THIS is where the real Barbie magic happens!
In 2018, Mattel introduced Barbie’s Inspiring Women series to honor historical female role models such as Amelia Earhart (Aviator), Katherine Johnson (NASA Mathematician), Susan B Anthony (Womens Rights activist) and #supersisters own, Rosa Parks (Civil Rights Activist).
Also in 2018, Mattel introduced the Shero line honoring modern-day “women who break boundaries”.
Unlike the Inspiring Women collection, most Shero dolls are 1 of-a-kind dolls for the women they honor. Barbie Sheroes include Shonda Rhimes (Entertainment CEO), Naomi Osaka (Tennis Player), Jane Goodall (Primatologist), Sarah Gilbert (Scientist), Fencer, Ibtihaj Muhammad (1st hijab wearing Barbie) & Actress/Producer, Laverne Cox (1st Barbie celebration of a transgender woman) + a long & growing list of other influential women lead
Now that summer is in full swing & summer concerts abound, we’re posting about some amazing women performers/literal rockstars/business women/badass women.
Who better than to start with than the amazing Taylor Swift!
This article appeared in Ms Magazine (10/12/22) before Swift embarked on her ERAs tour in March 2023. The article focuses on Swift’s evolution as a songwriter, business mogul, and woman.
https://msmagazine.com/2022/10/12/taylor-swift-new-album/
"Feminism (Taylor’s Version)" - 10/12/2022 by JULIETTE HOLDER
In the article, Ms. Magazine talks about Swift’s personal & professional growth including her decision to re-record her song masters as a means to reclaim ownership of her own work - when her former record label would not let her simply buy the masters to her own song and her directorial debut of her award-winning music video
“Rather than disowning or distancing herself from her “old self,” Swift takes care to recreate the important pieces of herself from her past and trace her current values back to those versions of herself. Swift has grown more confident; she’s reclaimed (literally and symbolically) ownership of her name, works and ideas. She’s engaged more in feminist work. These parts of her were there all along, she says; she just needed more life experience and freedom from oppressive patriarchal systems to fully realize them.”
NOW, as her ERAs tour prepares to leave the US for Europe, the press headlines of Swiift’s tour remark that Swift is “bringing in ticket sales of more than US$13 million a night on the road – putting her on a trajectory to deliver the highest-grossing tour in music history. And that sum does not include the additional millions dollars in merchandise sales that the Eras tour.”
And then there is the praise she has earned from some well-known adoring fans.
We want Taylor on a future supersisters card!

Happy July 10th, 1953 birthday to skier, Lindy Cochran, supersisters card #30.
A member of the U.S. Alpine Ski Team from 1970-1978, Cochran competed on the World Cup circuit in the mid-1970s. In 1973 she won the U.S.National Slalom Championshi and excelled at the World Championships in 1974 and the 1976 Winter Olympics BEFORE attending college the University of Vermont in Burlington.
Cochran is the youngest of four siblings of the "Skiing Cochrans". Her parents built and operated a ski hill in their backyard. Cochran married Steve Kelley and all three of their children raced on the U.S. Ski Team.
The wikipedia bios of both Lindy Cochran AND her sister Barbara Cochran (supersisters card #47) include the following recognition of the sibling’s inclusion in the original set of supersisters cards.
“In 1979, the Supersisters trading card set was produced and distributed; one of the cards featured Cochran's name and picture.” Turns out Lindy is also an avid sports fan and in particular a big fan of the Boston Red Sox.
Although the story of the founding of supersisters has its roots in baseball, Melissa Rich, 8 years old in 1978, really wanted to be a ski racer just like Lindy and Barbara Cochran :) !

Things We Did Not Know! - Julia Stewart
Tomorrow our friends at @ParlayHouse are hosting a chat with Julia Stewart, CEO of IHOP.
Parlay House is a globally accessible community to connect authentically through a series of in-person gatherings for women that foster intimate conversations and ignite meaningful bonds between strangers..and Parlay Away is a supplement to their live gatherings using video events to bring meaningful conversations online.
Per Parlay House’s introduction of their next guest,Julia Stewart worked as a server for IHOP at age 16, and after college, through dedication and hard work, made it up the corporate ladder to become the President of Applebee's. When Applebee's passed her over for the job of CEO, after leading the company turnaround, IHOP scooped her up to be their CEO instead. She then bought Applebee's [a much larger brand]...and that was just the beginning for this member of Fortune magazine’s Top 50 Most Powerful Women in the U.S.
Today Julia Stewart is Founder & CEO of Alurx, Alurx is on a mission to enable health-conscious consumers through educational materials, trusted advice, customized recommendations, behavior modification, and much more.
We love Parley’s clever open invitation to join the webinar…“Come hear her authentic story of parlaying pancakes into poise, power, and purpose as a female entrepreneur.”
https://parlayhouse.com/events/channel-your-inner-entrepreneur/
We can’t wait to learn more about Julia Stewart’s. Our hunch is that her inclusion on Fortune magazine’s Top 50 Most Powerful Women in the U.S. is just the “icing on the [pan]cake.” :)

Today we received numerous requests for a Tina Turner supersisters card.
We could not agree more.
Today as in the past, Tina Turner was described as a star, a trailblazer, a role model, a legend, and an inspiration.
One of those paying tribute was Oprah Winfrey.
“She is our forever goddess of rock ‘n’ roll who contained a magnitude of inner strength that grew throughout her life. She was a role model not only for me but for the world. She encouraged a part of me I didn’t know existed…I am a better woman, a better human, because her life touched mine. She was indeed simply the best.”
The Today Show online coverage took note.
As titans of their respective industries, both Turner and Winfrey carved out remarkable career paths for themselves in spite of racial obstacles, opening the door for many who've come after. After striking up a friendship, through the years the two legends often came together for celebrations and interviews in which they reflected on one another's lives and careers.
https://www.today.com/popculture/music/tina-turner-dies-rcna86086
The Today Show also pointed to another fan’s post regarding the magnitude of Oprah’s deep appreciation for her friend, Tina Turner.
"As a kid, Oprah Winfrey was my biggest star in the world," a Twitter user wrote with a post that featured a video of Turner delivering a birthday performance for Oprah on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2004. "Then Oprah lost her mind when Tina Turner surprised her with her 50th Birthday Show — that’s when I learned who the biggest star in the world was to the biggest star in my world. RIP to the World’s Biggest Star." - https://twitter.com/JarettSays/status/1661447948390260736

As the U.S. political landscape continues to shock and amaze us, we pay homage to Patricia Schroeder, supersisters card #3. Shroeder was the first Congresswoman from the state of Colorado, the second youngest Congresswoman in office at the time of her first election, and the longest serving woman in the House at the time of her retirement. Shroeder served on the United States Armed Services Committee and who fought actively for government reform and for women’s and children’s rights and was known for having some great quotes in her repertoire!
The Pledge of Allegiance says, 'liberty and justice for all'.
When people ask me why I am running as a woman, I always answer, 'What choice do I have?'
Nobody ever says to men, how can you be a Congressman and a father.
I have a brain and a uterus and I use both.
I learned a lot about America and a lot about Pat Schroeder, and that's why I will not be a candidate for President.

Happy Birthday Robin Morgan (January 29, 1941), supersisters card #62!
Robin Morgan is an American poet, writer, activist, journalist, lecturer and actor. She is a leader of the American Women's Movement. She was editor of Ms. magazine, a publication that was co-founded by fellow supersisters, Gloria Steinem (supersisters card #32) and Letty Cottin Pogrebin (supersisters card # 7) among others. She also co-founded the Women's Media Center with Steinem and actor/activist Jane Fonda. Morgan has written more than 20 books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction..Her anthology, Sisterhood Is Powerful (1970) was cited by the New York Public Library as "One of the 100 Most Influential Books of the 20th Century."
Morgan chose the quote “Children, female and male, must understand that they can change the world…Start now, each day, working for equality and freedom. (P.S. It’s fun, too!)” for the back of her supersisters card, #62.
Meanwhile, Helen Reddy (supersisters card #9) chose the quote “Sisterhood is Powerful” on the back of her card.
According to many sources, the phrase “Sisterhood is Powerful” was actually coined in 1968 by another pioneering feminist leader, Kathie Sarachild, who was then known as Kathie Amatniek. It was something Amatniek wrote for a leaflet distributed at an anti-Vietnam War event on January 15, 1968 in Washington D.C.by the Jeanette Rankin Brigade (a coalition of women’s groups named after the first woman elected to Congress in 1917).
We found the keychains below at a woman owned business in Louisville, KY. We bought the whole lot!

We spent time over the holidays perusing the social media posts of many of the original supersisters, as well as the family and professional organizations that continue to be inspired by those that have passed, and also the social media posts of many of the women who have been nominated as future #supersisters.
We plan to start the year by sharing some of these inspirational posts.
We will make our own posts short, so as to focus on the messages of these amazing women and the legacy stories they share.
We begin with another nod to the late Barbara Walters and the group of women who paid tribute to her upon her retirement.
