A compilation of newspaper articles, pesonal narratives, quotations from authors, academics, etc., with the author's commentary. "This pamphlet is addressing the experience of childhood, shared by both sexes in western society ... In the west, expectations of what a girl and a boy 'should' be are distinguished according to the prevailing notions of femininity and masculinity." "This pamphlet... is part of an on-going preoccupation with children's oppression, starting from my own experience." Title from John Lennon, quotes from Alice Miller, Shulamith Firestone (Dialectic of Sex), sections on role of young people in political uprisings, such as Northern Ireland and South Africa.
