Making available what is perhaps the longest-running diary in
existence, ""Selected Journals of Caroline Healey Dall, 1838-1855""
offers what arguably is the most complete account we have of a
nineteenth-century American woman's life. Dall (1822-1912), a
participant in the transcendentalist, abolitionist, women's rights,
and social science movements, filled her journals with intelligent
reflections and keen analysis of her world. This, the first of
three volumes, begins with her adolescence at Beacon Hill. The
journals will address a wide range of topics covering some
three-quarters of a century, including family and social rituals
and interactions; the routines of ""woman's work""; illnesses, both
physical and mental, and their treatment; examples of cross-class
and cross-race relations; and the larger world of business,
politics, literature, reform, war, religion, and science. In
detailing Dall's emotional, intellectual, and spiritual
development, the journals also convey a compelling personal story.
