Rescue remedy

There were some interesting clips I saw posted for international women's day. Here's one that shows the shocking state of children's literature:

In a study of over 5000 children's books, 25 % had no female character whatsoever (less than 1% had no male character). In time magazine's top 100 children's books of all time, only 53 had speaking female characters. In many of the books that do feature females speaking, it's rare for them to have careers or dreams that don't revolve around marrying a prince.

I grew up with the notion that a prince would ride in should I need rescuing. It's a bit disappointing to realise that the only rescuer I can have is myself. But I'll keep doing what I can to build an inclusive society. Maybe then we can all rescue each other.
