Yes – I know about the diaries!
I’m in a translation group on Facebook, and wow!!! The series only skims it – she gives so much detail, and the most intimate is in really cryptic code, with abbreviations for abbreviations for coded phrases, often translated into other languages.
She really is a fascinating person to study – I have a few books on her – and she really opens up the gender/sexuality questions to span the whole of human existence because of the fantastic details she left behind.
To think she predates the “purifying” movement that came out of the US in the 1800s, with the horrible undertones of racial purity that Hitler drew upon…
Sorry, rabbit mode again!
Love Laura
