Connie Blair is the central character in a series of 12 mystery novels for adolescent girls written by Betsey Allen and published by Grosset & Dunlap between 1948 and 1958. 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". Mason cites several moments from the series in which Connie uses sex appeal, rather than investigative prowess, to achieve her goals.
