(This book is online for free at Google books, too.) A google search shows that this club still exists -- surely they must have a bio on a founding member...? Likewise with the New England Women's Press Club -- If it still exists, they probably have info. If they don't there probably books about the club OR records of the club. I'm searching around for those.... Also, Google Books says that she's in the 2007 book "American Biographical Index" as Cora Belle Ayling. I'm trying to find out which libraries have this book.... BTW, I used to be a librarian assistant, so I love this stuff! :) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
