When Did Girls Start Wearing Pink? looks at the issue of gender-specific clothing for children. This issue has irked me forever, but especially now that I have a daughter and my son’s in school. Nearly all the girls in his class come to school dressed head-to-toe in pink. And if I don’t have Minna dressed in some shade of pink, people inevitably think she’s a boy. I grew up in the glory days of the gender-neutral seventies and early eighties and I’ve always hated pink. Keeping the pink away from Minna is a battle I’m determined to fight.
