When 2012 started, I was looking forward to the publication of "Pink and Blue" -- a labor of love and curiosity that was over 30 years in the making. I had a feeling that many parents were wondering, as I had, why choices for our sons and daughters seemed to be so limited. Thankfully, I found a publisher capable of both academic rigor (much needed!) and broad public marketing. (Hooray, Indiana University Press!) My family and friends gave me space and time to write and revise, and a weekly break at our local brewpub. My church community helped me connect, mind, conscience and spirit. Peggy Orenstein, Daniel Thomas Cook, Hanne Blank, Susan Kaiser and Anne Fausto-Sterling provided inspiration and feedback.
But best of all, people read the book -- people I didn't even know! Thank you all for your support, which means more than I can express. May 2013 treat you kindly.
