Mary Worthington diary, 1909-1910
Title:
Mary Worthington diary, 1909-1910
Description:
Mary Whitall Worthington's diary from around the time of her senior year at Bryn Mawr College, 1909-1910. The diary begins with a description of Miss Worthington's summer vacation in which she goes first to Baltimore to visit with family and friends, and then to New York before sailing to Europe on board the RMS Lusitania. In England, she attends a number of parties and social engagements and makes new friends. She goes to the World's Student Christian Federation Meeting in Oxford and is moved by the religious devotion she witnesses. Worthington is particularly interested in the suffrage movement, and while in England she has tea with Inez and Vida Milholland. They attend a "suffragette raid" on the House of Commons together, and Miss Worthington gives a detailed description of the demonstration and includes newspaper clippings with her own thoughts. Later in the year, when Emmeline Pankhurst gives a lecture at the Merion Cricket Club and tours Bryn Mawr, Worthington is able to speak with her about the movement and privately marvel that she dressed in purple, white, and green -- suffragette colors. This diary is filled with Miss Worthington's high praise of her friends, descriptions of hockey games, club lectures, play and glee club rehearsals, and traditions such as rush night, Lantern Night, May Day (for which she was elected the May Queen), and bonfire night. Throughout her diary, Miss Worthington talks about her relatives, in particular her aunt, M. Carey Thomas. She also includes programs from events, exam questions, drawings and photographs, and letters from family members. Miss Worthington also includes an index of topics she discusses at the back of the diary.
