Bronagh McAtasney (53) received a pocket-sized page-per-day 1981 diary for Christmas in 1980.
In 2013, she decided to start sharing entries as @NrnIrnGirl1981.
Ms McAtasney said the attention given to the account gave her the impetus to quit her job and go to university, thanks to the support she received. I was working as a secretary and through a women s network group I got a coach, she explained. I d been doing a lot of work through the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) on women s diaries. I quit my job and went and did an MA in Public History at Queen s University and I now work for Northern Ireland Screen doing their 1960s TV archive. It s a great job and I watch films from the 60s all day.
