A series of novels for young girls each based on actual events in the life of a heroine from history.

These novels, based on careful research and authentic in locale and period, tell the individual stories of young women who have matched the kind of spirit and courage which great heroes of history have shown.

Girls still in their teens who were true heroines because of an instance of sheer physical bravery or an equally unafraid dedication to an idea; girls who ventured forth along new lines which later led to distinction in adulthood: these are the characters.

Around their early lives the authors have spun warm, exciting stories to appeal to the heart of every young girl first awakening to the challenge of life before her.
