I'd brought this book home for my youngest so she could learn more about the woman who brought the Girl Guides to America and transformed it into Girl Scouts, but I ended up reading it myself. I've been a Girl Scout since kindergarten, wearing the Brownie uniform, selling cookies, earning my Silver, and now have two daughters that are Girl Scouts. So it was intriguing to learn about the fascinating Juliette Low. She was from the South, married an Englishman, was presented to the Queen, almost divorced at a time that was a social no-no, and was a force to behold. She affected the lives of more girls and women than she'll ever know with Girl Scouts.
