Super Sisters
In 1979, a young girl named Melissa Rich asked her mother Lois why there were no women trading cards. So Lois decided to produce her own set called “supersisters”. The card set was made up of 72 trading cards that highlighted inspirational women. Many of the women were athletes.
Exactly 40 years later the program reunites Melissa, Lois, and some of the supersisters. They discuss some of the experiences based on the cards. They also talk about the importance of icons in women’s sport.
They discuss their thoughts and ideas in front of a live audience at the Lower Eastside Girls Club of New York.
