Another True Story by Nancy Sherwood:
I went to a small private school in Washington, D.C. One day the boys were playing a pick up game of basketball in the basketball court. I wanted to play and they said "no girls". I went to the headmaster and told him that I paid as much tuition as the boys and I should have the same privileges.

The headmaster suggested I call the National Organization for Women (NOW). I did call them. They sent a speaker to our school.
We had an assembly and everyone learned that we all should be equal.
After that, the girls and the boys could play basketball, or other sports if they wanted to. Me, I preferred flag football.
