Tell me, oh internet, who are the Chase sisters? In what book do they appear? Am I being very ignorant / stupid in not recognising them?

Background: they appeared on the Wall in Monday's Only Connect -

Background to this background: the most fiendishly difficult round of quiz programme Only Connect confronts contestants with a wall of 16 items, which can be arranged in four groups of four connected items. Some items are ambiguous, in that they could belong to more than one group, which makes it harder to resolve but isn't relevant at the moment -

On Monday one group was revealed to be Chase, Bennet, Fossil, March and the connecting factor was that they were literary sisters. I identified the Bennet sisters from Pride and Prejudice and the March sisters from Little Women, and then was delighted to spot Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil from Ballet Shoes, the only name host Victoria Coren Mitchell found it necessary to explain.

So, who are the Chase sisters?

There are also sisters called 'Chase' in Margaret Attwood's 'The Blind Assassin' but they're not exactly iconic 'sisters' in the same way the others are...

Likewise, the Chase sisters are karate stars from Pittsburgh (http://pittsburghsportkarate.com/chase-sisters/) - which is not quite what I had in mind!
