Biographie:
The Stratemeyer Syndicate wrote three series of books for girls under the name Margaret Penrose, which was a pen name. The books were published by Cupples & Leon. The Dorothy Dale series (1908-1924), the Syndicate's first lengthy series featuring a female protagonist, was the first to utilize this name.

The latest new series to bear this moniker was the Radio Girls series (1922-1923). In 1930, the show was converted into a Campfire Girls series after being sold to Goldsmith.

It was a coincidence that both pen names were from the Syndicate.?...
