Jessie Graham Flower is a pseudonym for American author Josephine Chase. Born about 1878 in Pennsylvania to Edward H. Chase and Mary Arrner Chase. [1] Chase was the author of the popular Grace Harlowe series of 27 books for girls, written between 1910 and 1924. [2] [3] 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. [4]
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.

Like Flower's other heroine, Grace is a role-model, already a "paragon when her story begins". [6]
