In celebration of the Girl Scouts' centennial, a lively salute
to its maverick founder.
Born at the start of the Civil War, Juliette Gordon Low grew up
in Georgia, where she struggled to reconcile being a good Southern
belle with her desire to run barefoot through the fields. Deafened
by an accident, "Daisy" married a dashing British aristocrat and
moved to England. But she was ultimately betrayed by her husband
and dissatisfied by the aimlessness of privileged life. Her search
for a greater purpose ended when she met Robert Baden-Powell, war
hero, adventurer, and founder of the Boy Scouts. Captivated with
his program, Daisy aimed to instill the same useful skills and
moral values in young girls-with an emphasis on fun. She imported
the Boy Scouts' sister organization, the Girl Guides, to Savannah
in 1912. Rechristened the Girl Scouts, it grew rapidly because of
Juliette Low's unquenchable determination and energetic,
charismatic leadership.
In "Juliette Gordon Low," Cordery paints a dynamic portrait of
an intriguing woman and a true pioneer whose work touched the lives
of millions of girls and women around the world.
