Hardcover. Condition: Good. On offer is a wonderful look life in a small town in the U. S. South through the eyes of a young working woman. The diary was written in 1939 by Essie Lee Nash. Nash lives in Hemp, North Carolina (now renamed Robbins) and works in one of the mills in town. Our informal research has not turned up any additional biographical information about her. In her diary, she recounts in detail her daily routines and the many people she interacts with. One key consideration is her social life, especially with young men. One such entry reads: "Dear Diary. I just made a mistake but I'll let this be the 'memorial". A lot has happened this month. Dorothy came to live with me. JR got expelled but went back. Cay told her and she told him This past month has been stuffed alright. Roberta got married the first day. Pauline told me that she was pregnant. Wonder what it will be. I hope the next month will be as happy for me as the past." [Feb 1]; "Dear Diary. Dorothy and I didn't want to go to work today because it was so pretty. We got our wish. The Throwing Dept didn't run today. Everyone was glad. We put on our new dresses and went to town. Clyde carried us with him to deliver groceries early tonight J. R. And Buster came about 8: 15. I was so glad to see him. He told me something tonight (je vous aime) We went to Green Top and got cagin Bernie was drunk and asleep in his car. They left early. I fixed light socket" [Apr 15]. It is interesting to note, that she makes no reference to event happening beyond the scope of her own world. There is no mention of Roosevelt's television speech, the first ever or of the outbreak of WWII. After many 'crushes', she met a young man named Harold. Over time, he would occupy a more and more central role in her life. ". We rode back and saw Harold. He came with us and we went to ride. He has had a time today. The girl he used to love came to see him (He was home) He is through with her. She is married too. Aggie ran away from Charles tonight too, Harold said. He got in Dutch about it. Dud seemed despondent at first but he soon got all right. I've got a date to go swimming with him tomorrow night. ." [June 6]. "Dorothy worked all day today. I was lonesome but I worked all day. Certainly seemed funny that Harold wasn't here tonight. He walked to the mill with me. ." [Sept 16] . Her relationship with Harold blossomed and her second last entry describes it all: "Dear Diary. This has been the happiest day of my life. We left this morning at 11: 30. We got to Martinville VA just before 3: 00. We were married at 3: 00 by Rev [ ] Horne. He was so good and kind. It was a beautiful ceremony. I've been so happy all day. We had a grand supper. Came back by High Point to the [ ]. Saw a boy I used to know in Monroe. He spoke to me. ." [Dec 3] For a social historian or researcher in Women's Studies, this is a superb recounting of the daily life of a young working woman in the southern United States. It paints a very clear picture of the social world that existed at that time and place. It would be an excellent addition to any reference collection depicting that time and that place for ordinary young women. This diary is a leather bound volume, measuring 5.5 inches by 4.0 inches. It contains 365 pages and is approximately 90% complete. The cover is leather with wear marks on the corners and surface. Otherwise, it, the binding and the pages are all in good condition.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. On offer is a fine 5-year diary written by Addie Podrasnik, a woman detailing everyday life in America from 1937 until 1941. Born in Illinois in 1876, Podrasnik first married Wallace Wilson Robinson on October 28, 1903, in Chicago, Illinois. During this marriage she had one child. Following this she married She next married Joseph Nikolaus Podrasnik. They had no additional children. For a historian, the very unexceptional aspects of her day-to-day lives offers a wonderful window into the lives of millions of middle-class American women in the years before WWII. This little journal details the transition from a peaceful, mundane life to the worry of America entering into the devastating Second World War. During the first couple of years it is clear that Addie lives a comfortable, social life, for example the entry on March 22, 1938 reads; " We shopped in Upland this A.M. Afternoon, went to Ontario to see movie. Fred Allen in "Sally Irene and Mary". Warren arrived before we left. Home in evening." Her diary was written between 1937 and 1941. In it, she recounts the day-to-day events in her life. She often mentions people she met with and places she visited, sometimes travelling across the United States. This diary perfectly portrays the life of an ordinary American housewife in the pre-war years; "My birthday. Oh Boy Getting old. Lots of cards and beautiful gifts. Up good part of the night. Adelaide sick & fainted & frightened me. So spent birthday at home. Nice day. Adelaide feeling better tonight. Ed Hilmann tel. this evening." [Aug 30, 1939] It is clear as the diary progresses, international politics are becoming more turbulent. On October 25, 1940 Addie writes; " Cloudy all today. Isobel and John left after 11. Joe gone to [ ]. Painter doing both rooms, all [ ] with a coat to match cupboards and rest of new woodwork. Annie & Paul down this evening. We listened to King's speech." On this date the British Royal Air Force bombed both Hamburg and Berlin. The mundane everyday tasks of a housewife in Chicago are here juxtaposed to world affairs. By 1941 it is clear that Addie no longer feels as removed from the horrors of WWII. On December 7 she writes; "I went to Hughes for dinner. Home at 6:30. Had such a nice time but news on the radio Japan fired on U.S. ships. War declared." and by December 8 "War declared today on Joe's and my anniversary. Listened to the President's speech to Cong.& they later passed the declaration of war." [Dec 8, 1941]. "Warmer today. I walked over town , did a few errands. Went to hospital til 3. Drove up to house and sat there few minutes and then back to hospital 5:30.Hustled our supper and then to see [ ] and Leslie in "Romeo and Juliet". Played Rummy." [Jan 26, 1937] Addie passed away in 1951 at the age of 75, and was buried in Brookfield, New Hampshire. Our informal research has discovered no additional biographical information about her. This diary would make an excellent addition to the resources for a Women's Studies or Social History program. In a few short years, American society would be plunged into decades of unprecedented social change. The diary is in excellent condition. It contains 365 pages and is 100% complete. The cover is a hard leather cover with a zipper closure. The cover shows signs of wear at the corners but is in otherwise very good condition. The binding and spine are both in good condition as are the pages. The handwriting is legible, if cramped.
