Résumé

"The Camp Fire Girls Do Their Bit" by Hildegard G. Frey is a captivating tale set during World War I, focusing on the adventures of the Winnebagos, a group of spirited young women. The story begins with the girls traveling to Oakwood to spend their summer vacation with their beloved Guardian, Nyoda, who resides in the historic Carver House. The narrative unfolds with the introduction of Veronica, a Hungarian girl with a noble background, who has chosen to embrace American life and values. The Winnebagos, including Sahwah, Migwan, Hinpoha, and Gladys, are portrayed as eager to contribute to the war effort, despite feeling limited by their roles as young women. The novel explores themes of patriotism, identity, and the desire to make a meaningful change during a time of armed conflict. As the girls navigate their summer, they encounter various characters, including a mysterious lieutenant of aviation and a whimsical artist, each adding depth to their experiences. The story is rich with historical context, highlighting the societal expectations and challenges faced by women during the war. Through their interactions and personal growth, the Winnebagos exemplify courage, friendship, and the spirit of adventure, ultimately finding ways to "do their bit" for the war effort.
