Juliette Low: Girl Scout Founder (4) (Young Patriots series)

Over two million Girl Scouts worldwide owe their membership to its founder, Juliette Low€"a woman who, as a girl growing up in the post€“Civil War South, refused to accept that girls couldn€t do everything boys could. Whether angrily defending her friend against taunts of schoolmates or rescuing a kitten from the highest branches of a tree, Low possessed the spirit and strength of character that would lead her in adulthood to act as a world-famous advocate for girls. Children will experience Low€s joy at the gift of her very own horse, feel her excitement at attending her first dance, and share her frustration with being thrust in to the role of a well-behaved 19th-century young lady who would rather have been riding, creating sculptures, or climbing.
