Synopsis

"When I Was a Little Girl" is the childhood memoir of Mae Logozzo Samal Knox, who grew up in Meriden, Connecticut, in the 1920s and '30s. In describing the "Greatest Generation," the generation into which the author was born, Tom Brokaw said, "The enduring contributions of this generation transcend gender," and he credits the women of the Greatest Generation with changing "forever the perception and the reality of women in all the disciplines of American life." By this definition, Mae Knox is definitely a woman of her generation. In "When I Was a Little Girl," the first volume of Knox's memoir "My Life and How I Lived It," we observe many facets of one little girl's life in a large New England family: her home, her parents and brothers and sisters, her town, her activities, her values, her joys and fears. This volume is one Greatest Generation woman's reminiscences of her childhood, and her personal history is one that many of her generation--and their children and grandchildren, having heard the family stories--will recognize and enjoy.
