Kay Tracey
The Kay Tracey Mysteries were published under the name Frances K. Judd, a house pseudonym of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book packager. The series was conceived as a response to the popularity of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories and likewise features a teenage girl detective. While the original entries in the series lasted only from 1934 to 1942, the books were updated, revised, and have been re-issed numerous times, most recently by Bantam Books in the 1980s, and have been translated into Swedish and French. Many critics see Kay Tracey as markedly inferior to Nancy Drew, but some find the series to be significant as one of a number of series that provided girls with a feminist role model prior to third-wave feminism.
==Character==
Kay Tracey is a 16-year-old amateur sleuth who lives with her mother and her older cousin Bill, a lawyer, in the fictional town of Carmont. Kay is depicted as unfailingly intelligent and courageous; she lives in "a constant shower of praise."〔 Unlike Nancy Drew, the character on whom Kay Tracey was modeled, Kay is a student in high school. Like the Dana Girls, fictional sister sleuths created by the Stratemeyer Syndicate around the same time as Kay Tracey, Kay deals continually with a jealous schoolmate, Ethel Eaton,〔In the 1980s Bantam reprints of the books, Ethel's name is changed to Chris.〕 who often interferes in Kay's cases. Kay is often aided in solving mysteries by her two best friends, twins Wilma and Betty Worth,〔Wilma's name is changed to Wendy in the Bantam reprints.〕 and occasionally her boyfriend, Ronald Earle.
