Diaries written by Gladys A. chronicling her experiences, thoughts, and other aspects of her life daily. The first entry is written on the day she arrives in Los Angeles, presumably from Saginaw, Michigan where she is originally from. The entries continue daily through 1949 and 1950 with only a couple of months missing. 1951 is almost completely missing. 1952 and 1953 are also only missing a couple of months. Together, these diaries contain detailed information about and an intimate glance into Glady A's first five years in Los Angeles.
