Douglas, Margaret Moore, 1875-1940. Margaret Moore Douglas journal, 1906-1915.

Title: Margaret Moore Douglas journal, 1906-1915.

Diary of a woman from South Carolina teaching in a Presbyterian mission school in northeastern Brazil during the early 20th century. This institution was later known as the Colégio Presbyteriano Agnes Erskine or Agnes Erskine School. Journal entries discuss her ambitious plans for the mission; learning to speak Portuguese; her strict interpretation of the Ten Commandments, including concern over a student's attendance at the cinema on Sunday; leisure activities discussed include tea with the Consulate, travel, and bathing in the ocean surf. Supporting materials include letter, 28 Sept. 1010, from Mary Douglas Stauffer (niece of M.M. Douglas, who transcribed and edited an unpublished manuscript of her aunt's journal), summing up the challenges that M.M. Douglas faced in the establishment of the school in a quote from Brazilian poet Mauro Mota: "it took remarkable individuals to confront as women a sexist culture, as North Americans a foreign culture, [and] as Protestants a Catholic Culture"; and commenting on the relationship between Douglas and Alfredo Freyre, "who served as the school's lawyer and also as her Portuguese tutor." Stauffer notes that the man's son, Gilberto Freyre, "author of 'The Masters and the Slaves,' is probably the greatest sociologist that Brazil has produced," and enclosing a photocopy of a book review of Freyre's work published in the London Times Literary Supplement (14-20 July 1989 : p. 763).
