All Faith Action Boys Girls History Left Out Spoerts The Impossible

Famous Zinnia Abbott Quotes

“I once asked him, “How come there are no women in the history book?” He said, “Because women never did anything.” …. I used to sit in these trees and watch the boys in my class play ball. Girls were not allowed to be in Little League. At the time, I asked why. The adult said, “Girls would hurt themselves.” This made no sense to me. I thought, Boys are more likely to hurt themselves than girls are, because they have fragile stuff on the outside that girls don’t have to worry about. The adult also said, “Girls don’t like sports.” That also made no sense to me, either, because I thought, I love sports, and I’m always one of the very first to be chosen for teams in the neighborhood, when it’s just the kids doing the choosing. And aren’t I a girl?”
