GIRLS CAN DO ANYTHING: Awarded 2024 Franklin Furnace Xeno Prize

An annotated recreation of a little book I made in 4th grade (1964) after being denied a paper route because I was a girl. The book was destroyed by my 4th grade teacher, breaking my heart. It features stick figures doing all the “jobs” a “girl” could do, including scientist, mailman, and fireman. But, alas, the “girls” that got the book destroyed included a movie star showing cleavage, along with two other “jobs” which . . . Well, you'll have to get the book.
