reviewed Interpreting Women's Lives on October 27, 2011
Interpreting Women's Lives
This book comprises a number of quality essays from across social science and humanities disciplines, all exploring the use of personal narrative in feminist research. I had hoped for a bit more guidance with regard to how the analyses progressed but this really isn't the book's purpose and the authors do an excellent job of addressing the larger issues of context, relationships, truth, meaning, etc. As an anthropologist currently teaching my first intro course (and thus rereading NISA along with my students) I particularly enjoyed Marjorie Shostak's essay toward the end.
