consecutive weeks on the panel. Carlisle

Edward Zielinski of Erie, PA: “I went on my
honeymoon with 58 women”

Mrs. Walter Bush of Concord, MS: “I was the
first woman driver”
The former Anne French was indeed the
first woman (in the United States at least) to get what we would now call a
driver’s license. On March 22, 1900, she
received a Steam Engineer's License (Locomobile Class), issued by the City of
Washington, DC. We get to see a picture
of Mrs. Busch atop her 1899 Locomobile Steamer.
Mrs. Bush’s story had appeared in the September 8 issue of LIFE
Magazine.
Special Guest Elsa Maxwell: “I’ve never had a
drink”

most famous women in the world from the 1920s through the 1950s. She was name-checked in songs by Cole Porter
and Irving Berlin and referenced in everything from I Love Lucy to early Superman comic books. She is credited with inventing the modern
scavenger hunt and for discovering ventriloquist Edgar Bergen.
Mrs. [George Benjamin] of Nashua, NH: “I was
