A reccommended read for any girl who has ever allowed the tomboy inside to breathe. The stories cover a wide span from tomboys to trans*. Some stories made me smile at the individuality and strength others made me sad that women still are frowned upon if they don't grow out of the tomboy phase. Really a great read, a must read for anyone interested in gender.
