Produced by Steve Harris, Andrea Ball and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "From Childhood to Girlhood" by Marie Bashkirtseff is a collection of personal journals written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of Marie Bashkirtseff, beginning from the age of twelve and capturing her transition into adolescence. The journals reflect her struggles with identity, love, and the societal expectations placed upon young women during her time. The opening of the journal introduces Marie as a precociously intelligent and sensitive girl living a "nomad life" due to her family's travels across cities like Paris, London, and Rome. Readers are immediately drawn into Marie's inner world as she candidly expresses her longing for love and her aspirations for fame, particularly centered around a young man referred to as the Duc de H----. Her entries vividly depict the emotional turmoil of young love contrasted with her ambitions of achieving greatness, all while illustrating her vibrant imagination and self-awareness. Marie's reflections also reveal a deep yearning for personal validation in a society that often overlooks the profound inner lives of children, inviting readers to ponder the complexities of youth and the desire to be understood.
