Biographies Needing Improvement

 * Elizabeth Cabot Agassiz - Good article, but needs more inline citations

 * Elizabeth Blackwell
 * Mary Bunting - Could really use a photo. Does Radcliffe have one that they'd add the necessary license to?
 * Caroline Wells Healey Dall - Needs infobox and detail
 * Susan Walker Fitzgerald - Needs an infobox; Need a disambiguation page for "Susan Fitzgerald" (or "for the MA politician, see" on the other Susan Fitzgerald page); Needs more references/inline citations
 * Elizabeth Freeman - If anyone is advanced enough to do this, I think this article is very close to being ready for GA nomination.
 * Matina Horner - Stub; needs infobox and more detail
 * Mary Lyon - Good length and layout but needs inline citations
 * Maud Wood Park
 * Edith Nourse Rogers - Great page; could potentially be nominated for GA, except it needs inline citations
 * Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin - "Personal Life" and "Marriage" sections need to be merged; Needs inline citations
