Delia is a confident young woman who works as a housekeeper for a small family. Every morning, she gets up before everyone else and makes breakfast for each family member, then starts on her cleaning tasks. Despite her close relationship with the family she works for, Delia feels that she has more potential and does not like working a housemaid. She feels disrespected by some members in the family, and wants to try to find another job. After meeting with her friend, Minnie, Delia decides that she will quit her job. She wakes up the next morning and refuses to make the breakfast as usual. Instead, she tells the family of her decision and asked for the wages she’s due. Even though the family protests, Delia gets her wages and goes off to live with Minnie. However, Delia soon learns that the world is not kind to working women, and she struggles to find a well-paying job. Poor and unsure what to do, Delia remains optimistic and fights to find the best place for her. Set in the early 1900s, The Diary of Delia is an intimate account of life as a poor working woman.

The races at Southampton have, for time immemorial, constituted a scene of rivalship, war, and envy. All the passions incident to the human frame have here assumed as true a scope, as in the more noisy and more tragical contentions of statesmen and warriors. Here nature has displayed her most hidden attractions, and art has furnished out the artillery of beauty. Here the coquet has surprised, and the love-sick nymph has sapped the heart of the unwary swain. The scene has been equally sought by the bolder and more haughty, as by the timid sex. Here the foxhunter has sought a new subject of his boast in the nonchalance of dishabille; the peer has played off the dazzling charms of a coronet and a star; and the petit ma tre has employed the anxious niceties of dress.
