 Indeed, the very richness of Anne's diary may be due, in part, to the circumstances of its composition.
Had she had a girlfriend with whom to share her secrets, she might have written less wholeheartedly in her diary.

Perhaps the absence of a life outside shaped her sensitivity to that inner life.
-Dalsimer K. Female Adolescence (1987)
