Inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold sm
It's good to be a girl in this world today. I like being a girl because I can speak for myself. I can stand up for myself. Being a girl makes me strong.
Girls' Bill of Rights - 1945
Girls'
Bill of Rights
1945
A girl has the right to wholesome companionship, constructive play, and group competition that she may acquire initiative, self-reliance, courage, good sportsmanship and self-control.
She has the right to a healthy body and well-adjusted personality.
She has the right as an adolescent, to the companionship of boys her own age, under wholesome conditions.
She has the right to training for her future all-important job of homemaking and motherhood.
She has the right to find somewhere in her community wise and understanding guidance by friendly adults, that she may learn to steer a safe course in a world of changing standards.
She has the right to become familiar with good literature, drama and music, by direct contact with them.
She has the right to all these things, not merely because she is a human being, but because... as mother of our future citizens... she will someday hold the most important and responsible job in the world.
