Membership materials blooper--"a woman of courage"

I just received my online membership materials for the American branch. Sadly, I can't download the "Ricardian Register" articles because the longer .pdf files load so slowly that that they freeze my computer. (Articles from the "Ricardian" itself aren't available, but under the circumstances that doesn't matter.)

But the main reason I'm writing is to point out an astonishing blooper in one of the items that I *can* access, an article entitled "Richard III: Villain or Victim" in the American Branch brochure, which informed me to my astonishment that "Richard's story is that of a *woman* of loyalty and courage." I'm not making this up. If you're a member of the American branch, you can go to the password-protected Members Only page, click on the link for American Branch Brochure in the Ricardian Evangelism section, and scroll down to the first sentence of the fourth paragraph to see for yourself.

Does anyone here know the editorial staff of the American branch? As a new member, or rather a long-absent, newly rejoined former member, I would feel presumptuous in pointing out this error, but I really think someone should. I'm quite sure that Richard would be more surprised than I was by this revelation.

To use the punchline of an old observation about Ginger Rogers as Fred Astaire's underappreciated dance partner, "Backwards and in high heels."
