Ginger Wadsworth-"First Girl Scout"
Warwick's, torsdag, mars 15, 2012 kl 7:30pm
Award-winning children's non-fiction author Ginger Wadsworth will be at Warwick's on Thursday, March 15th at 7:30pm to sign and discuss her biography First Girl Scout:The Life of Juliette Gordon Low.
Just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts in 2012, a lavishly illustrated account of the fascinating life of the woman who started it all.
Juliette (Daisy) Gordon Low was a remarkable woman with ideas that were ahead of her time. She witnessed important eras in U.S. history, from the Civil War and Reconstruction to westward expansion to post-World War I. And she made history by founding the first national organization to bring girls from all backgrounds into the out-of-doors. Daisy created controversy by encouraging them to prepare not only for traditional homemaking but also for roles as professional women--in the arts, sciences, and business and for active citizenship outside the home. Her group also welcomed girls with disabilities at a time when they were usually excluded.
