Six-year-old Vivian Lord of Little Rock, Arkansas took matters into her own hands when she discovered there were no female toy soldiers to play with.
When her mom started looking around, she says she only found pink male soldiers.
So Vivian began writing letters to toy companies across the country asking that they start making female toy soldiers.
Vivian wrote: “Please can you make Army girls that look like women. I would play with them every day and my friends would too!”
Vivian and her mom have contacted three toy companies and one has responded.
Jeff Imel of BMC Toys told Vivian that he would love to make it happen if he could gather enough support.
Vivian’s mom says no matter what happens, she’s just happy her daughter is speaking up!
Way to go Vivian!
