Summary "How Ethel Hollister Became a Campfire Girl" by Irene Elliott Benson is a young adult novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Ethel Hollister, a girl caught between her mother's fashionable expectations and her own desire for adventure and personal growth. As the narrative unfolds, themes of self-discovery, the value of outdoor life, and the contrast between societal norms and individual aspirations come to the forefront. The opening portion introduces readers to Ethel's world, dominated by her mother, Mrs. Hollister, who is sternly opposed to Ethel joining the Camp Fire Girls due to concerns about social status and societal expectations. In contrast, Ethel's cousin, Kate, passionately advocates for the Camp Fire movement, highlighting its benefits for girls in building confidence and life skills. The dynamic between Ethel and her family members establishes the central conflict of the story, setting the stage for Ethel's journey towards independence, self-discovery, and eventual engagement with the Camp Fire Girls, which promises to liberate her from the constraints of her mother’s aspirations.
