This collection of essays offers a stimulating insight into the
practice of reading and the relationship between reading and
writing in women's life writing texts such as memoirs,
autobiographies, diaries, travel logs, and graphic memoirs. It
covers a great variety of writers from literary classics such as
Virginia Woolf to the authors of slave narratives. Some essays
focus on how literary texts help frame a narrative of the self,
acting as models and counter models; others insist on the role of
literature in resisting imposed gendered and ethnic identities. The
essays also show that female writers use reading to deepen their
relationship to the rest of the world. While reading is often
represented as central to life and aesthetic experience, the
collection stresses that there is no single or universal approach
to reading in women's life writing. Taking into account debates
about life writing, the collection opens new fields of
investigation and fully participates in current scholarly
conversations in the field.
