Summary: Lady From Savannah
Comment: This is an excellant book on the life of Juliette Magil Kinzie Gordon Low. It contains historical information as well as antidotes of this amazing lady, who at the age of 54 founded the worlds largest organization for girls - Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. It begins with her birth and how she got her nickname, Daisy, and continues through her marriage to a titled Englishman, and her death in Savannah, GA, in 1927. She was almost totally deaf, and yet she was far ahead of her time. She was an amazing lady and we can only wonder what she sould have achieved if she were alive today. I can't recommend this book enough.

Summary: Once a GS, always a GS
Comment: As a former Girl Scout, and current Assistant Leader, I can really appreciate the work that went in to founding our beloved organization. This book not only provides a historical account of the founder of the Girl Scouts of America, but also tells us about her parents and grandparents and how they too helped in building our country.
What is also intriguing, is this was not the typical philanthropist who knows nothing about the realities of life. Her life was a series of personal struggles as a child and a woman, it was the story of a survivor, a person anyone can look up to. True she was also an eccentric, but this was overlooked by her charm and the love she had for anyone who came into her life.
When I first saw a film clip at Girl Scout camp in the mid-70's, I became enchanted by this lady. Years later, I was led to this group of young ladies once again and found out there was a book about Juliette Low. I was intrigued from beginning to end, because I could identify with her pain and personal struggles. I soon realized that my life with the Girl Scouts would probably never end, as it had been a part of my journey and had helped me overcome my own struggles as a young woman.
I would recommend this book to all Girl Scouts young and old. I do feel however that it is written more for a mature audience, over 16. Not because of graphic scenes or language, but because the writing is very sophisticated and requires an experienced reader.
