notes
A fascinating anthology of daily extracts from women’s diaries spanning four centuries and revealing how women’s experience – of men and children, sex and shopping, work and the natural world – has changed over the years. And, of course, how it hasn’t. With several selections for each day, diarists are both well-known and less familiar, providing a rich mix of voices, often sounding eerily familiar to those of today.
