| Scope and Content | The collection consists of fourteen volumes of diaries, 1910, 1912-1923, and 1925-1935. The 1925-1935 entries are in two five-year diaries, so the daily entries are necessarily short. The earlier diaries document a young woman very active clubs and participating widely in the social life of Tacoma. Bowen was a diligent diarist, and the individual entries would be of interest to a researcher looking at the daily life of a woman from the upper social classes in the Pacific Northwest during the first half of the twentieth century. Also included is a bound Leacock family history. |
