      I say this as a mixed race writer: the clincher for me here was that the Wollstonecraft girls meet real people that they actually knew. If that means we don't get a diverse cast, so be it. But for me, at least, artificial diversity would undermine the very thing I love most about this concept.

      Hopefully there are some real minorities from this era that they might be able to meet (even with some artistic license needed to push them into the protagonists' lives) but please let them be real people, too.

      Hi Jordan,

      I am happy to see that this project is gaining such support. Have you considered adding young girls of color to the series. Your concept is so empowering and I can imagine that including other young heroines that are African American, Asian, Latina or Native American will certainly broaden the appeal and impact of this great work.
