This collective book offers new insight on the genres of biography
and autobiography by examining the singular path of those deemed to
be 'outsiders', such as Winnie Mandela, Ida B. Wells, Malcolm X and
Harvey Milk. Its specific focus on these female leaders and civil
rights activists, who refused to be constrained by gender, race and
class, shifts attention away from the great men of history and
places it solely on those who have transformed their personal lives
into a fight for collective goals. With an interdisciplinary
approach that looks at literature, cinema and cultural studies,
Women Activists and Civil Rights Leaders in Auto/Biographical
Literature and Cinema argues that life writing is a key source of
artistic creativity and activism which enables us to take a fresh
look at history.
