Girls Can't WHAT? Web Shows Girls Can Do Anything

Girls Can't WHAT? has announced the opening of the Girls Can't WHAT? Community web site. Focused on inspiring girls to follow their dreams, the site puts a special emphasis on non-traditional roles in areas typically dominated by males such as skateboarding, drumming, hockey and martial arts among others. Girls Can't WHAT? features biographies of women, including musicians, pioneers, athletes, record breakers and world leaders among others. Other highlights include news and blog entries, book, music and movie reviews, interviews, quotes, humor and a community posting board.

Girls Can't WHAT? was founded in 2005 by Gretchen Cawthon who grew up hearing phrases like “girls can't drum” or “girls can't play ball.” Her reply back was always a sassy sounding “Girls Can't WHAT?” The catch phrase stuck with her and is now the title of the site and sported on a variety of t-shirt and gift items.

Girls Can't WHAT? officially hit the Internet in late 2005 and has already generated a steady following and membership from girls around the world.

“I so enjoy this site. I love the colors and the stories about amazing women like us! Excellent work.“ Amy from Nebraska posted after visiting the site.

Community members participate by posting in the Girl Talk Forums, commenting on the various sections, and also have access to the site's archives. A bi-monthly Girls Can't WHAT? Newsletter is also available for members opting to receive it. Membership is free and open to girls of all ages.
