Historians can’t write history without information, and unfortunately the preponderance of memoirs comes from the “movers and shakers.” But history is more than what has been written by the winners–to get a more complete picture of just how the movers and shakers were able to move and shake society, we need to know about the moved and shaken–the so-called ordinary people. And that’s most of us. We tend to regard ourselves as being of little importance outside our immediate circles of existence, but we are not. What we do is incredibly important. Without us, little would happen.

So, keep hard copies of your writings somewhere, and tell people that your papers are to go to a library so others may see what your particular kind of life was like.

(My daughter knows that all correspondence I’ve saved and the hard copies of my journal are to go to a major women’s studies library.)

S(one of these days when I stuck for something to write, I’ll rant on about this in my journal.)
