Description: Through the lens of America's first and most popular girls' organization, Jennifer Helgren traces the role and changing meaning of American girls' citizenship across critical intersections of gender, race, class, and disability in the twentieth-century United States.

Review Quotes: "Helgren's work is well written, efficiently organized, and thoroughly researched. Because Camp Fire had strengths in the Midwest, historians of Kansas will appreciate her examples of Camp Fire girls in the region. The Camp Fire Girls will appeal to anyone interested in American girlhood, youth organizations, or childhood history."--Hollie Marquess, Kansas History
