P.S. You just brought this to mind with the Mulan thing.
My first major thing like that was when I was little and I read The Letter, The Witch and the Ring by John Bellairs. Near the end, a character named Rose-Rita has King Solomon's Ring fall into her hands which can grant wishes. She's a real tomboy, this is set in the 50's, so she's on the verge of wishing that she was a boy when the good witch talks her out of it and makes her hand the ring over.
...And all I could think was 'Hmph. I wouldn't have wimped out.'
