Confessions of a She-Devil (Unpublished autobiographical essay, 1937)

 

"Confessions of a She-Devil" is an autobiography which Maurine apparently wrote for use at the Rocky Mountain Writer's Conference at Boulder, Colorado, 1937. Veda Hale went over and confirmed much of the material with Maurine late in her life. There are fictionalized elements, however. There are two copies, a 34 page holograph and a 18 page typeset (included here). The originals are in the BYU Harold B. Lee Special Collections and copies in the Dixie State University Library Special Collections. The holograph and the typeset are virtually identical, except in one paragraph in the holograph describing a disagreement with Grant Redford in Cedar City, Utah.
