In nineteenth-century Boston, amidst the popular lecturing of
Ralph Waldo Emerson and the discussion groups led by Margaret
Fuller, sat a remarkable young woman, Caroline Healey Dall
(1822-1912): transcendentalist, early feminist, writer, reformer,
and, perhaps most importantly, active diarist. During the
seventy-five years that Dall kept a diary, she captured all the
fascinating details of her sometimes agonizing personal life, and
she also wrote about all the major figures who surrounded her. Her
diary, filling forty-five volumes, is perhaps the longest running
diary ever written by any American and the most complete account of
a nineteenth-century woman’s life.
In Daughter of Boston, scholar Helen Deese has painstakingly
combed through these diaries and created a single fascinating
volume of Dall’s observations, judgments, de*ions, and
reactions.
