Papers, ca. 1916-1977 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006843

Collection consists of diaries, notebooks, stories, poems, and college papers by Yvonne Skinner. The diaries cover the years 1923-1934 (with one passage written in 1937) and record the family life, activities, friendships, thoughts, and feelings of a young girl from a well-off professional Chicago family; they include some original poetry and prose. The later journals record "Bohemian" life at the University of Chicago during the late 1920s and early 1930s, when Skinner became, in the words of her disapproving parents, "the personification of wild modern youth." Also included are photographs and personal correspondence.
