Meet Agnes Baden-Powell, the clever 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.
From Gill Clay, Agnes\'s great-niece..
I wish Catherine Gritz every success with it.
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.
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.
A campaign to see her receive more recognition for her achievements and to celebrate her legacy is gaining support.
She was later sidelined and excluded from leadership positions.
Sadly, Agnes did not receive much recognition during her lifetime.
She penned numerous articles and traveled extensively to convince people about the benefits of joining.
Agnes worked tirelessly to establish Girl Guiding and grow the organisation.
She promoted outdoor education and activities for girls and young women long before it was fashionable.
Agnes was an unconventional Victorian woman who loved sports and nature.
