I am old enough to remember when there were definitive rules for girls and boys through their educational years; when girls wore only dresses, when competitive sports were for boys and physical education classes for girls consisted of either dance or gymnastics, and when girls took home economic classes and boys took math and science.As we move towards a time when gender does not define who we are, we salute those that have helped pave the way. Check out one of our local trendsetters at Smart Girls Rock, an online community for girls who intend to make their mark and change this world for the better. The website is the brain child of local media personality Dayna Steele and Terry McDonald, web designer for a major national space agency. As Dayna says, “smart is the new cool.”
