Each of us has a narrative compass, a story that has guided our
lifework. In this extraordinary collection, women scholars from a
variety of disciplines identify and examine the stories that have
inspired them, haunted them, and shaped their research, from
"Little House on the Prairie" to "Little Women," from the fairy
tales of Hans Christian Andersen and "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland" to Nancy Drew, "Mary Jane, " and even the Chinese
memoir "Jottings from the Transcendant's Abode at Mt. Youtai."
Telling the "story of her story" leads each of the essayists to
insights about her own approach to studying narratives and to a
deeper, often surprising, understanding of the power of
imagination.
