Congratulations! You're a Girl - Karen Meeker - February 1983

Karen Meeker

Sugar 'n spice 'n everything nice - that's not a very scientific description of femininity. What are successful, poised girls really made of? Whether in a basketball uniform or a beautiful flowing gown, hard at work or talking to friends - some girls seem to have a vibrant, friendly personality that tells the world, "It's fun being a girl!" They don't believe those who proclaim passionately that girls got shortchanged in life. Those people need to take a second look. Being a girl who's truly feminine is a challenge, but it has fantastic benefits. In the 1960s and '70s there was a great push to make both sexes look alike - from hair length to the same cut of blue jeans. This look didn't last and the pendulum is swinging back. Frilly lace, feminine ruffles and soft pastels are back. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
