description
girl who grew up to be the talented and energetic first president of the Girl Guides! Learn about her family, early life, skills and talents in this book, for children aged six and up.
Agnes was an unconventional Victorian woman who loved sports and nature. She promoted outdoor education and activities for girls and young women long before it was fashionable. Agnes worked tirelessly to establish Girl Guiding and grow the organisation. She penned numerous articles and traveled extensively to convince people about the benefits of joining.
Sadly, Agnes did not receive much recognition during her lifetime. She was later sidelined and excluded from leadership positions. A campaign to see her receive more recognition for her achievements and to celebrate her legacy is gaining support. Hopefully this book will create more awareness of this astounding woman's contributions to the Girl Guiding movement, which continues to inspire and empower girls and young women today.
"I think it's great! It will be a delightful, inspirational children's book! Agnes was the most remarkable woman and it's so good that her talents and achievements are being given due recognition. I wish Catherine Gritz every success with it." From Gill Clay, Agnes's great-niece.
