Low founded the first “girl guides” troop at a time where her career was dying, being 51 years-old and nearly deaf. Her intention was to create a safe space for girls to socialize, share, and collaborate together while embracing their individual strength. Juliette, known as “Daisy” by her family and close friends, was born and raised in Savannah Georgia. As a child, she was treated as a southern debutante girl, which was perhaps what drove her to realize that she did not want a woman’s life to have to follow the predictable path of a pampered wife and mother. This, combined with her divorce to Englishman William Mackay Low, set her on the path to promote women’s individuality and frown upon their dependence on men. Following the example of the boy scouts in England, she started three troops for girls in England and continued her work in America.
