Jessie Graham Flower
Jessie Graham Flower is a pseudonym for American author Josephine Chase. Born about 1878 in Pennsylvania to Edward H. Chase and Mary Arrner Chase. Chase was the author of the popular Grace Harlowe series of 27 books for girls, written between 1910 and 1924. The books fall into four separate series, including a high school series, college series, Overseas series, and Overland Riders series. Chase died February 8, 1931 in Philadelphia. She never married and was survived by her sister, Edna Chase.
The author was also known by other pseudonyms including Pauline Lester (The Marjorie Dean series), Ames Thompson (The Adventure Boys series), Captain Gordon Bates (The Khaki Boys series, 1918-1920), Grace Gordon (The June Allen series), and Dale Wilkins. The Harlowe series follows the life of its heroine more or less chronologically from high school through college and beyond. Like Flower's other heroine, Grace is a role-model, already a "paragon when her story begins".
