In their literary autobiographies, modernists Vita Sackville-West,
Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)
challenge the scientific figures of the perverse lesbian,
particularly those promulgated by Havelock Ellis and Sigmund Freud.
By multiplying their "I"s, manipulating subject and object
divisions, undermining boundaries between writer and audience, and
using repetition to code erotic moments, these writers queer the
terms of autobiography. That queering requires understanding
autobiography as more institutional than introspective, and the
autobiographies themselves question the very theories that
determine them: theories of lesbianism, female development, and
memory.
