Humm points out that:
In feminist research diaries are used as records of the
researcher's feelings and ideas. Diaries draw attention to the researcher
as a human being and offer clues to the social environment being studied.
In this way diaries can be as significant a part of data as empirical evidence.

London, 1989, p50)
