This diary reveals the 19th century through the eyes of a young girl, Henriette Dessaulles (1860-1946). Dessaulles chronicled her teenage years with precise and often poignant detail. She would go on to a brilliant career as a writer, as one of the pioneers of women's journalism in Quebec, alongside Laure Conan, Robertine Barry, Joséphine Marchand and Léonise Valois, among others.
