As Told by Herself offers the first systematic study of women's
autobiographical writing about childhood. More than 175
works-primarily from English-speaking countries and France, as well
as other European countries-are presented here in historical
sequence, allowing Lorna Martens to discern and reveal patterns as
they emerge and change over time. What do the authors divulge,
conceal, and emphasize? How do they understand the experience of
growing up as girls? How do they understand themselves as parts of
family or social groups, and what role do other individuals play in
their recollections? To what extent do they concern themselves with
issues of memory, truth, and fictionalization? Stopping just before
second-wave feminism brought an explosion in women's childhood
autobiographical writing, As Told by Herself explores the genre's
roots and development from the mid-nineteenth century, and recovers
many works that have been neglected or forgotten. The result
illustrates how previous generations of women-in a variety of
places and circumstances-understood themselves and their
upbringing, and how they thought to present themselves to
contemporary and future readers.
