Diary, 1919-1921
Scope and Contents
Three letters from college friends (within two envelopes) at rear, house plans pasted in, and household budgets on the rear pastedown. This is the first diary to be titled "Married Life" rather than "Diary of Izzy at Boarding School." Much of the content focuses on major life changes including relocation to California, living with Philip's family in the early period of marriage, and trying to understand how her selfhood and her new social role align. She begins addressing her diary as "Betty," as though speaking to a friend. She also becomes a mother.
