Manuscript Diaries of Grace Gilchrist Frend, 1907-1941

Summary: Grace Gilchrist (1859-1947) was the daughter of Anne and Alexander Gilchrist, both non-fiction writers interested in the arts. Grace trained to be a singer and became an "average" contralto. In 1897 she married Albert Henry Frend, an architect, but the marriage lasted only twelve years and ended with a long and bitter divorce. Her diaries record these events, as well as her life-long interest in theosophy.
