From time to time I google myself, my company, and Miss Londonderry just to see what interesting things pop up. Today’s efforts were treated to two surprises:

1. A teenage girl in Oregon listed Annie Cohen Kopchovksy as her hero.
2. Annie was listed as #14 of “50 Women Little Girls Should Admire Instead of Symbols of Stupidity and Weakness,” flanked by other visionaries such as Tina Fey, Vera Wang, Angela Merkel, Maya Angelou, SARK, Eve Ensler, and Coco Chanel.

We haven’t even completed the film yet, but already we’re well on our way to accomplishing our goal. One of the main reasons why Spokeswoman Productions is producing “The New Woman”  is because we feel that Annie’s story is too fascinating and inspirational to be forgotten. Scholarly journals should analyze the impact of her journey, sports marketing books should recognize her as an early pioneer, and children should learn about her in school, so that when they think of the famous Annie of the 19th century, Annie Oakley isn’t the only one that comes to mind. I’m thrilled to learn those who  caught wind of our Back-in-Bloomers-doings over the past few months have clearly caught the Annie fever. Feel the burn!
