Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-27 00:00:00 Stacy Piepenbrink This comprehensive collection into women's autobiography should not be missed. The lengthy (52 page, 2 column) introduction lays out the history, the theories, and the future of the field. The essays within fall into eight parts from agency to subjectivities and memories and sexualities. Essayists range from Margo Culley (editor of A Day at a Time) and Helen Buss (New Historicism, also editor of Working in Women's Archives) and Assia Djebar (author of Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade) to Judith Butler (Excitable Speech and Bodies That Matter). I am not a scholar of women's studies so my knowledge of this topic is limited and basic (the authors listed are the names I recognized), but the words within this Reader are accessible even to me. It's a large book, but entirely worthy of the shelf space.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-27 00:00:00 Tony Hopkins I wonder what if I didn't find this reference book. It helps my final assignment a lot!! I used it for my final assignment, focusing on autobiographical novel using Maxine Hong Kingston's works/novels.
