Paulette Brown acquired a reputation for being assertive before she was in her teens. Any time she perceived a situation as unfair– to herself, or others– she tended to say so, according to relatives. And she was very nearly always right.
After becoming a Girl Scout in her hometown of Baltimore, she told her mother the Scout leader showed favoritism to her own daughter. Paulette worried she’d never be chosen for anything important. “I said, ‘Did you ever think of telling her?’ ” Thelma Brown, her mother, recalled. “We didn’t discuss the matter again. But later the leader called me and said, ‘Paulette is something else again! Do you know, she opened my eyes to what I was doing?’ After that, Paulette became a leader in the group.”
