A Very Short History of Women’s History

Guess John Dickerson has finally finished that book about his mom:

Actually, this comes from something called “Supersisters Trading Cards” — the collection also includes Jane Pauley and Helen Reddy. They were a noble but misguided effort to promote the image of successful women, and in a little-known start to his legal career, John Roberts had them banned. Of course he didn’t need to work too hard. It’s sort of hard to imagine kids getting excited about them — “Hey, I’ll trade you two Bella Abzugs for a mint Shirley Chislom!”

Maybe if they were naked or something.
