Scope and content
This series contains six diaries dated December 31st, 1972 to August 17th, 1982. The first one starts shortly before Nelson leaves St-Eustache for Vancouver. They provide a very intimate insight into Nelson’s life. They also give an interesting view into the flower power way of life, Nelson’s experience when coming out as a lesbian and the Vancouver feminist movement, especially relating to Press Gang. Some passages make reference to Canadian painter Robert McInnes. The diaries are mostly written in English with some French and German. Portions of the diaries have been published. They are arranged in chronological order.
