People who do repetitive work with their hands may develop a number of
different medical conditions. Some, like carpal tunnel syndrome, are
fairly well known. Others, like De Quervain tendinitis are less so.
You can read about the causes, symptoms, and treatments of De Quervain
tendinitis in the National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus Medical
Encyclopedia:
https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000537.htm
Beware, though. If you hold your phone or tablet while
you browse the 4,000 articles available in the Encyclopedia, that's
exactly the sort of thing that might cause De Quervain tendinitis.

March is Women's History Month. One site that provides links to a treasure trove of information about historic American women is this page from the Archives Library Information Center at the National Archives:
https://www.archives.gov/research/alic/reference/womens-history.html
It's divided into sections which include: Bibliographies, African-American Women, Biographies, Politics and Women, Women's Suffrage, Women and the Military, and Other Resources. Explore a few of these links and you'll be certain that girls not only want to have fun, they also want to have a positive impact on the world.
