		<description>Hi Rachel,

This is spot-on! It took me way too long to recognize how perfectionism was actually limiting, not pushing me to be better. Any opportunity for girls to share their opinions, thoughts, and creations and then develop them with time and feedback is the one that might help some girl realize that putting yourself out there with mistakes may be more inspiring and fulfilling than (possibly never) putting yourself out there &#039;flawlessly&#039;--if only for the heated and creative debate that can follow.

I&#039;d like to humbly submit the site I work for, SmartGirl.org, to your list of empowering online havens for girls. Our site authors are between the ages of 10 and 19. They peer edit each other&#039;s original stories. Girls are also encouraged to share their experiences and opinions by submitting thoughtful reviews, responding to surveys (one of our recent topics was Perfectionism), and submitting short opines on topics relevant to them. They are welcome to submit poetry, love letters, craft and game ideas, and more.</description>
