6) She attended Maine East High School, where she participated in student council, the school newspaper, and was selected for the National Honor Society.

7) She won election as class vice president for her junior year, but then lost an election for class president for her senior year against two boys, one of whom told her, "you are really stupid if you think a girl can be elected president." *fking sexist*

8) Her first scholarly article, "Children Under the Law", was published in the Harvard Educational Review in late 1973.Discussing the new children's rights movement, it stated that "child citizens" were "powerless individuals" and argued that children should not be considered equally incompetent from birth to attaining legal age, but that instead courts should presume competence except when there is evidence otherwise, on a case-by-case basis.
