Persistent Sisters creates beautifully designed and illustrated women’s history trading cards that help girls and young women (especially, but not exclusively!) feel empowered by educating and inspiring with stories of remarkable women. Collect, connect, trade!

Persistent Sisters trading cards are the creation of artist Ellen Schaeffer, who was looking for a way to share with her daughter the stories of trailblazing women throughout history. As she started to create the trading cards, she realized that this was an engaging, accessible and flexible format that could empower all young women. Persistent Sisters is now an ever expanding collection of stories celebrating the boldness of remarkable women, carrying their momentum forward with new generations of persistent sisters everywhere.

With a broad and growing library of accomplished women spanning the fields of science, exploration, writing, mathematics, art and more, Persistent Sisters trading cards can inspire all girls to find their passion and make it a reality. They CAN BE what they CAN SEE!
