Utterly charming diary of a mother that proves many things never change. This is the Erma Bombeck of 1930. Like a mommy blogger of the 90s, the details of running a household and juggling social obligations is both tedious and hilarious. Add the experience of a spouse who is uncaring in the extreme and I feel a real kinship with this poor woman.
