My Guest today is Ellen Schaeffer,. Ellen is an artist with a background in theater design and community arts development. She launched Persistent Sisters, which produces women's history trading cards, in 2017. The mother of a 12 year old daughter, Schaeffer could not find many women-centered products for middle age school girls. Putting her project development and artistic skills together, she completed a successful Kickstarter campaign in November and produced the first series of trading cards, with three new sets on the way this spring. With a broad library of accomplished women spanning the fields of science, exploration, writing, mathematics, art and more, Schaeffer hopes that Persistent Sisters trading cards will inspire all girls to find their passion and make it a reality. They CAN be what they CAN see!
