Throughout decades of adaptations and reboots, American culture has continued to embrace Nancy Drew’s intelligence, courage, and independence. She has been reinvented, in ways that fans have not always embraced, for seemingly every era. Never out of print, Nancy Drew has appeared in more than 600 books and counting, in movies, on television shows, and in video games. “She’s a force for good, unafraid to speak up, unafraid to challenge authority,” said Melanie Rehak, the author of Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her. More than 80 million copies of Nancy Drew Mystery Stories have been sold since 1930, cementing her position as a role model for generations of readers, law enforcement professionals, and trailblazers such as Oprah Winfrey, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Hillary Clinton, Sonia Sotomayor, and Sandra Day O’Connor. Whether speeding down a country lane in her zippy roadster, taking down racketeers, recovering heaps of stolen jewels, or scouting a secret tunnel with her best chums Bess and George, readers can always count on Nancy Drew to save the day. Nancy Drew has inspired generations of girls with her indomitable resolve, resourcefulness, and aplomb.
