I think Glynis Johns had the right idea when she marched victoriously through the Banks household at 123 Cherry Tree Lane in Mary Poppins to announce the dawning of the age of womankind.

Granted she might have been a little bit of ahead of her time in the 1930's, but hey, this is the new millennium, and the latest "soldiers in petticoats" come courtesy of the girl empowering emporium, Sticker
Sisters.

Packed with t-shirts and buttons bearing positive sayings like "Action Not Glamour" and "My Body Is Mine," fem-minded misses can even pony up with Brave Girl Band-Aids ($7.95 for $15 sterile bandages packaged in a reusable/refillable red box), because after a hard day at working the gal-centered underground, a woman might need a little something to cover those scrapes and cuts earned in the trenches.
