Secret Voices: A Year of Women's Diaries [9781837330720]

Overview

A fascinating and important collection of extracts from women’'s diaries through the centuries, including such iconic voices as Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Frank, with a selection of pieces for every day of the year.

Organized around the calendar year, in this engaging anthology, now in paperback with a beautifully illustrated new cover, you’ll find Lady Anne Clifford in the seventeenth century and Loran Hurnscot in the twentieth both stoically recording the demands of an unreasonable husband; Joan Wyndham and Anne Frank, at much the same time, but in wildly different settings, describing their first experiences with sex; and Anne Lister (TV’s Gentleman Jack) in eighteenth-century Yorkshire exploring her love affairs with women alongside Alice Walker in twentieth-century California.
