Connie Blair is the central character in a series of 12 mystery novels for adolescent girls written by Betsy Allen and published by Grosset & Dunlap between 1948 and 1958.[1][2]
The Connie Blair series has been criticized for its sexism. As critic Bobbie Ann Mason writes, "[t]he series stresses appearance, popularity, and femininity as I.D. card for entry into the business world".[3] Mason cites several moments from the series in which Connie uses sex appeal, rather than investigative prowess, to achieve her goals.[3]
