For generations who discovered Nancy through yellow-spine paperbacks in the 1980s and 1990s, or watched her solve mysteries on TV throughout the decades, this news marks a cultural milestone. The character has captivated readers since her 1930 debut, selling over 80 million copies worldwide and inspiring countless adaptations, from the 1970s series starring Pamela Sue Martin (a spinoff of the very popular Hardy Boys TV series) to the 1995 syndicated show, the 2007 Emma Roberts film, video games, and even the more recent CW series.

But perhaps the most compelling part of this story isn't Nancy herself, but rather the remarkable woman who created her. For 50 years, Mildred Wirt Bensonremained anonymous, writing 23 of the first 30 Nancy Drew books under the pseudonym 'Carolyn Keene' while being paid just $125-$250 per book. She had to sign away all rights and keep silent about her authorship.
Benson deliberately made Nancy 'an unusually liberated woman' for 1930, imbuing her with independence and courage that inspired generations of readers. Her favorite was The Hidden Staircase, the second book in the series, now freely available for anyone to reimagine.
