Chiefly diaries, but also invitations, ticket stubs, programs, postcards, and photographs kept by Sara Blumenthal of New York City and Woodmere, Long Island (1910-1951). She wrote almost daily on those aspects of her life most important to her: family, friends, and social events. Her early diaries concern her time at school, first at Morris High School in the Bronx and later at Hunter College in New York, singing lessons, boyfriends, and proposals of marriage. After her marriage to Meyer Blumenthal, she moved to Long Island where she writes of domestic activities, social events, her husband, and her children, Myron and Berenice. She also writes of the increasingly strained relations in her marriage and the bitter divorce which ended it before 1943. Afterward she returned to live in New York City.
