Frances Willard Digital Journals

This online resource provides access to Willard’s complete journals for the first time. The original journals are fragile, and Willard’s handwriting is very difficult to decipher. The fully searchable transcription makes Willard’s journal easily accessible to scholars of women’s history, rhetoric, education, and the American progressive era. And this easily legible online resource can be used by a new audience of History Day students, undergrads, and members of the general public.
