Title
Belle Robinson diary, 1875-1877
Description
Diary kept by Belle Robinson (1862-1887), of Dubuque, Iowa. The middle child of three sisters, Belle’s personality was shaped by her family's focus on education and equality. Her father, Frank, was a lawyer with a private practice in Dubuque. Her mother, Laura, was an early member of the Dubuque Ladies’ Literary Association, one of the first women’s clubs in the United States. She also fought for women's suffrage.

Belle died in 1887, ten years after she completed her diary. She had a long battle with what was probably tuberculosis. She was 25 years old.
