Meet two engaging young nineteenth-century women and share important experiences with them. Adeline and Julia Graham, daughters of a prosperous Michigan farm family, kept diaries during key moments in their young lives. Addie, the younger sibling, kept a very personal and literary record between the ages of 15 and 19 during the years 1880-84. The next year, older sister Julia penned a less personal but equally interesting account of her great "adventure" homesteading in western Kansas. Taken together, these two diaries tell us many things about the opportunities and challenges facing white, middle-class women in the later part of the nineteenth century. 237 pages, Illustrated Available for $24.95 plus postage. |
