More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Women's Lives into Print provides a remarkable collection of essays by feminist scholars and writers who focus on the theory, practice and writing of women's auto/biographies. Accessible, yet discerning, contributors both scrutinize and develop many of the critical ideas that have emerged during the past two decades concerning feminist auto/biography, and ask: How can feminist epistemology ensure cogency in its recovery of women's lives? What is the relationship between historical memory and individual subjectivity? Does feminist auto/biography preclude 'thinking back' through fathers? How do the lives of those we 'recover' auto/biographically impinge upon our own?
Not only does this book foster debate about how we read, write and represent women's lives, it also endorses and demonstrates the importance of feminist-based 'recovery' research. Working across a range of subject disciplines, Women's Lives into Print comprises a vital and ground- breaking critical text for anyone interested in auto/biography. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
