Girls And Scouting An American History

Why, asked the New York Times in November 1920, was the Girl Scout movement growing so rapidly that it had to turn away 4,000 potential members each month? This book explores what turn-of-the-century girls' organizations--Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Girl Pioneers, and the YWCA's Girl Reserves--offered girls, and how they attempted to redefine female adolescents' relationships to their families, communities, and bodies.Miller, Susan A. is the author of 'Girls And Scouting An American History', published 2005 under ISBN 9781403968128 and ISBN 1403968128.
