 Interview with Melanie Rehak, author of Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her — Harcourt
It was there that I got the idea to write about both her and Harriet Adams because she had kept a lot of news clippings about Harriet in among her Nancy Drew files.
Harriet and Mildred were such fascinating people, and seeing them make their way through the times in which they lived is really inspirational.
Luckily, Mildred and Harriet were directly involved in many of the huge changes that took place, so I was able to use their personal stories to illuminate a lot of the big sweeps of history in an intimate way, which I hope puts them on a more human level and makes them more compelling.
