There's a campaign afoot to feature Diana Mara Henry's photographs of 1970s feminist leaders on a series of stamps. From her website: "As official photographer for the First National Women's Conference, she had unlimited access to many of the crucial women of the 1970's. These photographs have appeared in many government documents, magazines, books such as The Perfect Portfolio, Newsweek's Pictures of the Year 1977 and the 1989 Pulitzer and Tony award-winning play, The Heidi Chronicles, and have been exhibited in many locations including in a one-woman show at the Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY."
The campaign site
includes text for a letter to send to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee (who knew there was one?!) or a link to send Diana an email of support that will then be forwarded.
You can also vote for who you'd like to see on a postage stamp. I voted for Shirley Chisholm, but you'll have to click on over to the site for yourself to see who else you can vote for. ![]()
