An Extraordinary Year: A Journal of a Student Abroad 1956-1957

In early September, 1956, Judy Woodall sailed off to Europe with a group of young women, all students at Tulane University's Newcomb College about to experience their Junior Year Abroad. Starting that first night at sea, Judy kept an extraordinarily detailed journal recording her experiences living in Paris and Dijon and her many travels throughout Europe. Through her eyes, we see a post-war Europe still struggling with continuing shortages while the fear of another war simmers in Hungary, and we are with her as she experiences the treasures of European art and music. Reading this journal gives a vivid day-to-day portrayal of a time worth remembering - a time now fading into history.
