The Cruelty of Little Girls

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the sometimes cruel behavior of little girls, drawing on the author's personal experiences.

From the Paper:

"I had a best friend. Her name, I will pretend, to protect the guilty, was Tammy. Tammy was all I aspired to be when I was young, sweet, and insecure. Tammy was smart, popular, and well-liked by her friends and teachers. She was artistic, and neat. She never had a hair out of place. Even her book covers were as sharp as right angles. She was the first girl in class to get whatever toy was most desirable that year. She had the first Barbie dream house and camper in the neighborhood, the latest version of My Little Pony, the snazziest pair of inline skates. I felt privileged to be allowed to have my dolls visit the rooms of her small pink ranch house, to have my much smaller collection of ponies frolic with her stable full of pastel horses, I was awed that I was allowed to respectfully follow her as she sailed across the blacktop, long hair flickering like a thoroughbred's mane in the breeze on her silver set of wheels."
