Notes
1. The sheets are not numbered on the original. They have been numbered for the sake of this project. The sheets, when presented as photocopies to this project, were not in order. When placed in order, with the women’s names at the end, the list stops at “S”, so it would seem that the last sheet with the rest of the women’s names is missing.
