  1. Could be the answer to the who would you invite to an imaginary dinner party question, although I don't know anything about Moina Michael so she would be the mystery guest.
    Love the Margaret Mead stamp.

  2. I'm glad you included Moina Michael with these illustrious women. I had not heard of her (as I had not heard the name 'Moina')

  4. I doubt they ever met but it looks like they were all living during Marilyn's first 18 years?
