Stephanie Snell Povey 
You Can’t Play, You’re a Girl [EPUB ebook] 

Two things were true about Stephanie Snell. First, she did not like going to school. This was mostly because she hated wearing dresses every day and worried about other kids teasing her for being so different. Second, Stephanie was angry! She continually asked why she couldn’t wear pants or even shorts under her dress and play little league baseball like the boys. The only answer she got was, "You’re a girl and that’s just the way things are." Growing up in the 1960s may have been wonderful for some, but not for girls like Stephanie who longed to play sports and were considered ‚tomboys‘.
