A recent
U.S. Postal Service publication, <A href="http://www.usps.gov/cpim/ftp/pubs/pub512.pdf">"Women on Stamps"</A>,
holds some interesting methodological possibilities.  Putting a deceased individual's likeness on
a stamp is one way by which <A href="http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/death-3.html#si">political immortality</A> is
conferred.  Of the hundreds of Americans so immortalized only a handful are women: 16, to be
precise, through 1960; 19 through 1970; and 29 through 1980 (any connection between this
50% increase with the ERA movement of the seventies?).  An enterprising student may wish to
investigate and compare how this female proportion of immortalized citizens varies across
countries and time.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/gender.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.trinity.edu/img/6A78C1D9-CD50-40AE-97BD-39A90FD23EDF" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/gender.html"><B>Matters of gender are scattered throughout these pages,
