Letters home, March 1919

 File — Box: 3, Folder: 6

Scope and Contents

The twenty fourth folder in the Natalie Gookin papers contains letters written every day in correspondence between Bryn Mawr College junior Natalie Gookin and her family in Chicago during March 1919. These letters have been arranged chronologically according to the date that they were written. In her letters, Natalie demonstrates the close and intimate relationship she has with her parents through her detailed accounts of life as a Bryn Mawr student. Much of her letters revolve around her classes and school work, her activities and walks with her friends, and the various events within the Bryn Mawr community such as hall teas and current event lectures. Natalie hosts intimate discussions on religious and spiritual ideas that she encounters in her classes and is keenly aware of her distance from home and heavy college work load. These letters would be of interest to anyone studying women’s colleges, women’s education, religion, and home relationships.
