Typically, as in most of the career girl series books, the aspiring actresses landed jobs with relative ease and only suffer a few minor setbacks. One of the earliest examples in this genre appears midway through the Ruth Fielding series when the title character volunteers as a nurse in World War I.
Sue Barton was a popular and well written nursing series published between and Begun in , the Cherry Ames Nurse series, one of the most popular series, not only provided wholesome entertainment for adolescent girls, but also incorporated the patriotic message that young women could play an active role in the war effort both in the battlefield and on the home front. Little, Brown and Company, Considering that the author once served as a nurse in World War I, it is somewhat ironic that her main character is one of the few fictional nurses during this period who did not serve in the war.
This was most likely due to the fact that the Sue Barton was already married with one small child by If we are to save our men out there fighting for us—if we are even to win this war—you nurses must help. Are you ready to serve? The following three books, Army Nurse, Chief Nurse, and Flight Nurse give an authentic portrayal of the training that a new military nurse preparing to go overseas would require.
The series continued well after the war, as Cherry pursued her nursing career in such unusual locations as dude ranches, department stores, cruise ships and ski resorts.
As a girl series heroine Cherry was not allowed to age. Thus, her years as an Army nurse were never referred to in the post-World War II books so as not to date the eternally young heroine. Not all girl detectives were as perfect as Nancy Drew.
