About this title

Review

"There is no other reader like this one on theories of women's autobiography, despite the now wide-ranging approaches to this field. . . . It has the merit of combining within the genre of autobiography criticism many of the critical issues that have been paramount during the past two decades, incorporating and going beyond what both feminism and cultural studies have attempted. Important and timely."--Francoise Lionnet, Northwestern University
