Summary:
In 1855, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote to his publisher, complaining about the irritating fad of "scribbling women." Whether they were written by professionals, by women who simply wanted to connect with others, or by those who wanted to leave a record of their lives, those "scribbles" are fascinating, informative, and instructive.
