About

Suneetha Balakrishnan discusses some of the well-known diaries in in this episode of Bookstop. Writers' diaries are arguably the most popular. This list includes several notable people including Frida Kahlo, Helen Keller, Virginia Woolf, and Sylvia Plath. There are hundreds of diaries available everywhere that were written during times of crisis and conflict in the world. These notes enable us to learn about and experience the pain that a great number of people endured. There are, however, diaries that were written with no intention of being published and went on to become famous worldwide. In their diaries, girls, such as Anne Frank and Helene Berr, used to write about their goals and hopes. But agony and fear were all that remained after that. Many had to leave the dairy and the world soon after. However, these journals now serve as a mirror of history.
