@workingclasshistory Greta is quite a hero. At my new school she remains popular, although some fans want her to have an opinion on just about any topic, and she's kept a dignified silence on some subjects. Especially because, she'll have a change of mind on some details, and then some critics would then say, oh she's not honest. But I think she is.

@workingclasshistory Wasn't this before that, when she was 8? I know, I should probably look that up. Just wondering why I remember it that way.
