This work gives ideas, exercises, examples and suggestions for women who want to write their lifestories. It draws on creative writing, feminism, psychoanalysis, reminiscence, and oral history to show how women can explore their lives, and rediscover forgotten experiences both of themselves and their families. This book takes the reader from the moment of starting to the possibilities of publishing, and it includes examples of others' processes and successes. It tackles ways to write about the body, people, times and places that were significant, and how to overcome fears and resistances and self-censorship. This work shows how to find background material from local history archives, libraries, family memorabilia, and how to use oral testimony, and ways to deal ethically with family skeletons. It also gives the techniques of structuring and editing, and positive use of criticism.
