Note: It wasn't until I conducted research for my doctoral dissertation at New York University entitled Godey's Lady's Book: Contributions to the Promotion and Development of the American Fashion Magazine in Nineteenth-Century America, that I discovered Sarah Josepha Hale. I was inspired to produce a documentary about her life, so that others could know her great contribution to American society during the 19th-century. I would like to thank the CENTRAL TEXAS COLLEGE FOUNDATION, THE PENNSYLVANIA HUMANITIES COUNCIL, and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES for their generous contribution. May Sarah Josepha Hale inspire you as she did me. Good luck with your research!
