Summary "The Outdoor Girls in Army Service; Or, Doing Their Bit for the Soldier Boys" by Laura Lee Hope is a novel written during the World War I era, specifically in the late 1910s. The story centers around a spirited group of young women known as the Outdoor Girls, who come together not only to support their nation during wartime but also to engage in various adventures and activities, including knitting for soldiers and planning community events to raise funds for the Red Cross, as they seek ways to contribute to the war effort. At the start of the story, the Outdoor Girls are depicted lounging on a veranda, engaged in knitting while exchanging playful banter. They are led by Betty Nelson, the "Little Captain," who serves as both a unifying figure and a source of inspiration. The narrative quickly shifts to the impact of the ongoing war as news of soldiers enlisting and tales of hardship arise, leading to a sense of urgency among the girls to take action. When one of their friends excitedly announces he's volunteered for service, it triggers reflections on duty and patriotism, motivating the girls to consider how they, too, can contribute meaningfully in these challenging times. This opening sets a vibrant and emotional tone, highlighting themes of friendship, courage, and the resilience of youth amidst the backdrop of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
