CYBERFEM BARBIE'S STAMP COLLECTION:
Women on Stamps & First-Day Covers

When I attended the UN women's conference in Beijing, I picked up a booklet from the US Post Office entitled "Women on Stamps", which highlights the role women have played in American history as documented on postage stamps. You either order this fascinating brochure from the USPS or download it from the USPS website.
