Your article on the girls of 1892 with their diaries focused on the
contents of their characters rather than the shapes of their bodies
inspired me to check out exactly who they were. If they were
teenagers in 1892, they would have been born in the 1870s, right after the
Civil War. This means they would have grown up to be the formidable Missionary Generation women
like Jane Adams, Eleanor Roosevelt, Alice Paul, Edith Hamilton, and the suffragists.
An inspiring look at the foremothers of today's middle-aged women in
their youth!
