** "I, Mary MacLane: A Diary of Human Days" by Mary MacLane is a personal diary from the beginning of the 1900s that digs deep into the author's inner world. It's like reading someone's private thoughts about being alone, feeling important, and what it means to be human. Mary MacLane, the main character, is trying to figure out who she is, dealing with a big ego and wondering about life's big questions. She starts right away by looking closely at herself and all the different feelings she has. The story begins in Butte, Montana, where she feels sad and cut off from others. By being honest about her feelings, she shows us all the different sides of herself, mixing in both funny and sad moments. This sets the stage for her to find out who she really is, seeing herself as both a unique person and as someone who represents women's experiences, all while making it clear that she's mostly interested in her own life. **
