Anti-Damsel Blogathon -- August 16, 2015

Exhibitor's Trade Review, 30-December-1922.

Fritzi at Movies Silently and Jo at The Last Drive In are hosting the Anti-Damsel Blogathon.  This from Fritzi: "We want bold, brave, smart women who made their mark in all walks of life."  As the proud father of a bold, brave, smart daughter who is striving to make her mark in the world, that sounds like a great idea to me.  

My entry on my other blog is about The Peerless, Fearless Girl, the first serial queen, Pearl White:

Plunder was her last American serial.
