Abstract

This diary was written in 1938 by a 15 year old girl from Oakland, California whose name was Dee. She wrote about her adoration for older boys (some of whom are recorded in a list of boys titled "Men in my life"), social activities and school, and several family trips to Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Reno, Nevada where she claimed to be 18 and was able to drink and gamble.
