  • Nancy Drew is a fictional young amateur detective in various mystery series for children and teens. Created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, the character first appeared in 1930. The books have been ghostwritten by a number of authors and are published under the collective pseudonym Carolyn Keene. Over the decades the character has evolved in response to changes in American culture and tastes. The books were extensively revised, beginning in 1959, largely to eliminate racist stereotypes, with arguable success. Many scholars agree that in the revision process, the heroine's original, outspoken character was toned down and made more docile, conventional, and demure. In the 1980s a new series was created, the Nancy Drew Files, which featured an older and more professional Nancy as well as romantic plots. In 2004 the original Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series begun in 1930 was ended and a new series, Girl Detective, was launched, with an updated version of the character who drives a hybrid electric vehicle and uses a cell phone. Illustrations of the character have also evolved over time, from portrayals of a fearless, active young woman to a fearful or passive one. Through all these changes, the character has proved continuously popular world-wide: at least 80 million copies of the books have been sold, and the books have been translated into over two dozen languages. Nancy Drew has featured in five films, two television shows, and a number of popular computer games; she also appears in a variety of merchandise sold over the world. A cultural icon, Nancy Drew has been cited as a formative influence by a number of prominent women, from Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Sonia Sotomayor and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to former First Lady Laura Bush. Feminist literary critics have analyzed the character's enduring appeal, arguing variously that Nancy Drew is a mythic hero, an expression of wish fulfillment, or an embodiment of contradictory ideas about femininity.
  • Paula Drew eli Neiti Etsivä (alk. Girl Detective) on salanimellä Carolyn Keene kirjoitettujen nuorisoromaanien sankari. Salanimen takana olivat muun muassa Mildred A. Wirt Benson, Nancy Axelrod ja Alma Sasse. Romaaneissa Paula ratkoo rikoksia ystäviensä Bess Marvinin ja George Faynen avustuksella. Neiti Etsivä -romaaneja on tuotettu Yhdysvalloissa 1930-luvulta lähtien, ja niitä on suomennettu runsaasti 1950-luvulta alkaen. Romaaneja on aina välillä muokattu ajanmukaisiksi ja niistä on poistettu vanhentuneita elementtejä.

  • Kitty Drew är huvudkaraktären i böckerna om deckartjejen Kitty skrivna av pseudonymen Carolyn Keene. Böckerna räknas som flickböcker/ungdomsböcker. Kitty är en 18-åring utan mamma men med en pappa som har ett välbetalt arbete som advokat. Att Kitty inte har någon mamma kan ses som ett taktiskt drag. Eftersom den första boken gavs ut 1930 i USA behövde man se till att huvudkaraktären fick stor frihet att kunna ge sig in mysterier. Den första Kitty-boken, Kitty som detektiv – klockmysteriet (The Secret Of The Old Clock) kom ut i Sverige 1952.
