Role models
Yeah, OK, so mom already admitted she has a poster of fairies hanging up in the bedroom, which for the first moon or two will be Lil' Genghis' bedroom, too. Most kids like stuff like fairies.
dad has been hunting for the right artwork to influence the young lady. He has one or two things in mind -- strong, bold women, those uncompromising their ability to stand up to the "stronger" sex, those who know what they want to do and want to do it. Unfortunately, the original posters are out of print and not easily found today. But ...
Dear readers, it may be time to introduce you to Павличенко Людмила Михайловна, a Hero of the Soviet Union for her dedicated work during World War II.
Let us read farther:
Our hero was in intellectual pursuits before she found her higher calling. As one historian wrote, "När Tyskland attackerade Sovjetunionen 22 juni 1941, studerade Ludmila historia vid Kievs Universitet. Precis som sina klasskamrater, anmälde Ludmila sig till sovjetiska armén fšr att slåss mot tyskarna." Now that's drive.
What better example of intellect and purpose can we offer to Lil' Genghis than Ludmilla Pavlichenko?

Dear readers, it may be time to introduce you to Павличенко Людмила Михайловна, a Hero of the Soviet Union for her dedicated work during World War II.
Let us read farther:
Участница Великой Отечественной войны с июня 1941 - доброволец. В составе Чапаевской дивизии участвовала в оборонительных боях в Молдавии и на юге Украины. За хорошую подготовку ее направили в снайперский взвод. С 10 августа 1941 года в составе дивизии участвует в героической обороне города Одессы. В середине октября 1941 года войска Приморской армии вынуждены были оставить Одессу и эвакуироваться в Крым для усиления обороны города Севастополя - военно-морской базы Черноморского флота. 250 дней и ночей Людмила Павличенко провела в тяжелых и героических боях под Севастополем. Она вместе с воинами Приморской армии и моряками Черноморского флота мужественно защищала город русской славы. К июлю 1942 из снайперской винтовки уничтожила 309 гитлеровцев. Людмила была не только отличным снайпером, но и прекрасным педагогом. За период оборонительных боев она воспитала десятки хороших снайперов, которые, следуя ее примеру, истребили не одну сотню гитлеровцев.Now just try to tell me that that won't be inspirational to a young girl!

Very funny analogy given the fact that this is a strictly non-gun home.
Go figure where that came from!

On a not-unrelated note, I just found a World War II-inspired children's book.
