Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her

I enjoy the writing styles of non-fiction writers like Hampton Sides and Erik Larson, and the author of Girl Sleuth does not disappoint.

Following the timeline of when and how the character of Nancy Drew was created and became the endurable icon she has, readers will learn about the lives of the women who became the publisher and ghostwriter for the Drew series.

An added plus was the background of what was expected of women in society throughout the decades and their struggle for equality.
