Title	Margaret Boyd manuscripts; diary
Subject	Ohio Women Religion in Ohio Education Daily Life Teachers Universities and colleges Students
Place	Athens (Ohio) Athens County (Ohio)
Description	Margaret Boyd, the first woman enrolled in Ohio University, kept this diary in 1873 and 1874. She graduated on June 26, 1873. Although brief, it offers insights into Boyd's life as a pioneer in higher education. Along with course work, Margaret was responsible for household chores, noted in such entries as "ironed all day." She also faced constraints typical of the Victorian period, such as being unable to leave her home unaccompanied. The volume also documents Margaret's struggle to find employment after graduation. The diary is approximately 370 pages long and measures 4" x 2.66" x.75" (10 x 6.5 x 1.5 cm). After teaching in other parts of Ohio, Boyd returned to Athens and taught in the local high school, where her sister served as principal. She died in 1905.
