Thank you for educating us about Bobbie Rosenfeld. She definitely was a great role model, not only for what women can do in sports, but for everyone, by the way she kept persevering in her passion even when she had physical setbacks. I love pink and have some daughters that love pink but never played with barbies. I have one daughter who shuns pink but loves to play with Barbie dolls . She also likes legos. It doesn't bother me that there are separate sections in the toy stores for different kinds of toys. Actually, the legos are in the same side as the dolls and barbies. I hope one day girls and boys will be comfortable playing with both dolls and construction sets. I love when my 12 year old still plays make believe with her dolls. It fosters imagination and creativity. Then she goes and builds a batman Lego car with her brother. Thanks Eliana for your thoughtful and well written blog.
