For adult women, think back to your childhood - we're looking for letters to yourself at the age of 13. What advice do you wish you had? What do you wish you had known at that age about your leadership abilities and personal power? (If you're in the middle, like me, choose one or the other - or both!).
This is the "Legacy Book Project" of Ophelia's Voice (www.opheliasvoice.org). Depending on the number of submissions, it'll take the form of a publication of some sort by late June 2009 - the idea is to celebrate the wisdom girls can share with their peers and adult women, and vice versa.
