Gender and Memory brings together contributions from around the
world and from a range of disciplines--history and sociology,
socio-linguistics and family therapy, literature--to create a
volume that confronts all those concerned with autobiographical
testimony and narrative, both spoken and written. The fundamental
theme is the shaping of memory by gender. This paperback edition
includes a new introduction by Selma Leydesdorff, coeditor of the
Memory and Narrative series of which this volume is a part. Are the
different ways in which men and women are recalled in public and
private memory and the differences in men's and women's own
memories of similar experiences, simply reflections of unequal
lives in gendered societies, or are they more deeply rooted? The
sharply differentiated life experiences of men and women in most
human societies, the widespread tendencies for men to dominate in
the public sphere and for women's lives to focus on family and
household, suggest that these experiences may be reflected in
different qualities of memory. The contributors maintain that
memories are gendered, and that the gendering of memory makes a
strong impact on the shaping of social spaces and expressive forms
as the horizons of memory move from one generation to the next.
They argue that in order to understand how memory becomes gendered,
we need to travel through the realms of gendered experience and
gendered language.
