Juliette Gordon Low

Well, yes. She would have been entirely ( In-Synch) with the idea of political action among women including voting. It should be carefully noted that Mrs. Low was not strictly speaking a Suffragette, but was involved as the leader of the Girl Scout movement from l9l2 until her death in l927- that was clearly a full time job!

The founder of the World Scouting Movement, Lord Baden-Powell, after starting the Boys Scouts, recognized a need for a similar girl's organization and so enlisted his sister, Agnes, to found the Girl Guides. At that time it would not have been seen as proper to have a co-ed organization.

When Juliette Gordon Low met Lord Baden-Powell she became very interested in his efforts and began to volunteer with the Girl Guides, even starting troops near her home in Scotland and in London, England.

Because Juliette felt that girls needed a place where young women could learn self reliance and resourcefulness, she returned to her home in Savannah, Georgia and founded Girl Scouts of the USA.

Juliette Gordon Low loved to travel many places. She loved to visit family in Chicago, Illinois. She had family and friends all around the United States whom she loved to visit.

Juliette also loved to travel in Europe. She had homes in London, England and in Scotland. She had family and many friends in Europe. She also made one tour of India.

You probably can't actually buy one of Juliette Gordon Low's dresses. You could try contacting Juliette Gordon Low's Birthplace n Savannah, Georgia, because they have many of her personal effects and probably know where others are located.

The Birthplace also has dresses from Juliette's era for Girl Scouts to try on when they visit. You could ask the staff at the Birthplace about where they get the dresses.

You could also go to a costume shop and ask if they have any dresses or costumes from the late 1800's or early 1900's.

Juliette Gordon Low was looking for something to do with her life when she met Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts and the scouting movement. She became interested in the new movement and helped start troops in the United Kingdom. When she returned to the United States, she knew that girls in America would want to be a part of the scouting movement, so she organized the first troop and developed the organization.

Before her marriage, Juliette had suffered from chronic ear infections. She had lost most of her hearing in one ear because of improper treatment.

We Don"t know. certain subjects are and were (off Limits) in a controlled society such as the Girl Scouts, publicity can be regulated to ward off controversial topics. She was married, but had no children- whether she wanted to have them or not is an unanswerable question. a sort of paralell- Evangeline Booth ,. who was the head of the Salvation Army, was never married, I was not aware of this until accidentally discovering this fact in a sort of fact-book about the Salvation Army published by the organization. They would- years back talk of her role as the leader of the denominatin in the United states- all sorts of charitable activity, war-merit stuff and all that but neatly skated any ( romance) or personal, off-duty life. I had assumed she was a family woman, so to speak , but she was not. There was no religious doctrine in the SA requiring celibacy, in fact married officers were preferred. He who pays the piper calls the tune, or R.H.I.P. a la Sergeant Bilko . She did ( Mrs. Low) have a moderately serious hearing loss, and may have had other health problems- or perhaps she didn"t want to have kids- but was surely deeply involved with them. Sometimes childless couples( a movie was done on this about a Boy Scout leader- ex Jazz Musician, will plunge headlong into some sort of youth-charity or leadership roles- maybe incited by Guilt or finding a compensation for (Family Loss) infertility was a ( High Yellow) topic for Hollywood, the acceptable simile was ( We Can"t have Children) heck as a kid watching this stuff I wondered if this was in effect a Housing or Landlord ordinance- some apartment managers- and I sympathize to a degree- who wants juvenile crime and vandalism- bar tenants who have children and there is no legal challenge to this. It is an open question. Maybe she was sterile, but found a ( backhand) outlet for the mothering instinct through the organization she founded... who knows.
