RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN: Marriage does not affect the property rights of women. She may conduct a trade or business in her own name, make contracts with anyone including her husband, enforce them and have them enforced against her and freely hold or dispose of her property. Her contracts do not entail her husband or his property.
Brother really frightened me tonight and Daddy was angry because I overreacted. I couldn't help it. When I turned and saw that black mustache, those little shining eyes, and that hat pulled down over your forehead - I just couldn't help being frightened. John wouldn't have "scared" me nor would you have have been angry at me for screaming. When I am with you nothing bothers me. I always feel perfectly safe as though no harm can possibly come to me. I want you, John, always by my side. I want to reach out, feel you near me, John.

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
