Description
Sadie Harper grew up in Shediac, New Brunswick. In 1890, when she was only 15, Sadie began to keep a diary, faithfully or fitfully. As a young woman, she wrote of her experiences as one of the handful of female students at Mount Allison University. Years later, on a trip to London with her husband, she regaled her mother and sisters with news of London fashions and social engagements.
About the author
