Amanda, this is really impressive. What a staggering amount of research this represents! I've made several copyediting changes on your page, but nothing substantive. I have a few questions, though.

I revised the 1756 sentence about Lydia Taft to avoid use of 'female' as noun and move legal to modify voting instead of the voter, but I'm confused by second half of sentence -- did both husband and son die? If so, she had no heir; it presently reads as if husband died and left son with no heir, which is genetically not possible.

1828 -- does your source include what magazine Sarah Hale edited? if so, add it. if not, don't worry about it. :)

1910--Is Anna Stabbin Wells first woman police officer in U.S. or first woman police officer in Los Angeles?

You show two different women as first to join U.S. Marine Corp:

1812--Lucy Brewer

1918--Opha Mae Johnson

1951--Paula Ackerman performed rabbinical functions, but was not a rabbi, correct?

Fixed Lydia taft. Anna Wells was the first woman to be a police officer in America, possibly even the world. There is a controversy between those two women joining the marines. (wikipedia also shows them twice:) so i figured it ought to be ok. I believe the second one is actually when women began to join, the first was more like an exception. functions (is what wikipedia says) Amandamacumber (talk)
