Women's (Sporty) History Month

So ESPN jumped on the Women's History Month bandwagon. But I have to say I learned a few things.

Did you know that girls used to play six-on-six basketball, which had different rules than the game we know today? They played this version because a full court, five-on-five game was considered "too aggressive... inappropriate and too physically demanding" for girls. Unbelievable that some small towns played this unequal game until the 1990s!

Win a Brave Girl Shirt!

So Women's History Month is coming to an end. But when the month is over please don’t stop celebrating! Women and girls are creating change and making history every day.

I wanted to open this up for you to write about brave women and girls. Please post here about someone you know or someone you admire from a far.

On April 1st I'll pick one of the posts out of a hat and that person will get a free Brave Girl t-shirt!

Shirts come in kids sizes up to Adult XXL.
