Interesting...wish there was more about her life out there. Vdrgnfly (talk) 16:56, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

For such limited information on her, your entry was put together nicely and you were able to add a picture, pretty impressed. Good Job for your first entry ! (Lee.castro (talk) 22:48, 14 December 2011 (UTC))

I fixed some of the formatting so the paragraphs that had been intended to be separated now are. This article could use some more links to other articles and the source list still needs to be added to. I would love to see what sorts of sources you had a she is a very interesting woman. --Writeraeria (talk) 05:58, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Note about African American National Biography entry
Yikes. The African American National Biography entry for Mary Bowser feels very similar, in places at least, to this Wikipedia article at this version or earlier.

For now, I'm going to remove the source from the resources, and focus on using other resources. It may eventually be worthwhile to look into how the similarities came to be, and to get in touch with the editors of the reference.
