In 1912, Low founded the Girl Scouts--a pioneering organization designed to help empower girls of all races and ethnicities. Information is provided about the organization (e.g., origins of cookie-selling) and its continued success after Low's death in 1927. Wadsworth captures Low's stubborn but charismatic spirit by blending facts and humorous sketches in this winning biography. Numerous archival photos supplement the text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
