Adding Academic Research== 
 Hello fellow Wikipedians!  I added the banner above because I have chosen to work on this page as a class assignment.  I have done a good amount of research on the topic of tomboys, and I feel that including the research here on this page will greatly improve it.  For example, I want to expand on the evolution of tomboyism, its depiction in literature, and its current reception.  I will cite scholars such as Michelle Ann Abate (a professor whose research on tomboys has really reinvigorated academic research and discussion), and I plan on expanding the existing section about Judith Halberstam (because she does have a more inept discussion of tomboyism in her book Female Masculinity).  I am welcome to any ideas/feedback, so I'll keep checking this talk page in case you reply )
