Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girt Scoutrng m the Un.ted States. was a woman before her :.me. She had a vi­ sion of the role of women in the future. She foresaw the strengthening of th.s role by fort1fy1ng them w1th know•edge that would 'better enable girts to he p in the great bailie of life." Juliette Gordon Low transm1tted her love and respect for the outdoors to "her girls" long before the words 'en­ vironmental awareness' were popular. In 1922, she flew in an airplane to show how safe It was and recommended this mode of travel for Girl Scouts. She in­ spi red adults to help in Girl Scouting . Juliette Gordon Low saw no limits to the opportunities that could be available to girls. In 1913, she said, "Really well­ educated women can make a good m­ come by taking up translating as stockbrokers, decorators, accountants architects Fifty years ago no woman could be made a doctor, though now it is within t'le power of any girl with perserverance and close study to enter the medical profession, and even to r se up to distinction as a doctor and to honorable celebrity." This past October, Juliette Gordon Low was mducted into the national Women's Hall of Fame, joining women such as Harriet Tubman, Rachel Car­ son, Clara Barton, Marian Anderson, Amelia Earhart and Pearl S. Buck. The natlonal Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, New York, was fou nded to honor American women who have contributed to the development of their country. The location, known as The Birthplace of Women's Rights, Is where the First U.S. Convention of the Wom­ en's Suffrage Movement was held 'n 1848. It is fitting then. that Juliette Gordon Low, a woman of the future take her place 1n the Women's Hall of Fame as one of tne foremost women whose con­ tributions have been of. great value to >he r country and to women everywhere

A woman way ahead of her time, Juliette low flew In an airplane In 1922-and recommended flying for Girl Scouts •• a safe maana of travel.

It is important to know this, because the child who has been to nursery school, preschool or Head Start may be ready lo interact more freely wtth older troop members.
