The article includes a brief history of WASP and the personal experiences of former WASP members. Handwritten text on the card expresses fascination, by an unknown author, at Mrs. Brown's experience. The card itself has a text graphic, partially covered up by the clippings, reading "YOU made the NEWS!"
