Description

This second volume of selections from Caroline Healey Dall’s diary extends her story into the an important period of her central role in the American women’s movement and her position as a founder of the American Social Science Association. These entries convey the Civil War, the tragedy of Lincoln’s assassination, and other national events from the point of view of a strongly partisan New Englander. Dall’s text also reveals her personal experience as a single mother who emerges from the shock of her husband’s departure to form a new identity as author, lecturer, and reformer. An eloquent woman of sharp intelligence, located at the center of New England cultural and political events, Dall provides us with an unusual viewpoint at the era by which she―this “strangely gifted” but improper and emotionally vulnerable woman―lived.
