My question about women's heads on American stamps has brought

me a surprising volume of correspondence—embedded amongst it the observation that I am obviously not a philatelist, which is very true. It appears that there have been many women's heads on American stamps in recent years, among them those of Princess Pocahontas, Martha Washington, Susan B. Anthony, Louisa M. Alcott, Frances E. Willard, and "My Mother" (Whistler's, in commemoration of Mothers' Day). To the various donors of this interesting information I am duly grateful.
