- Synopsis
- Looks at the modern memoir, the forms and styles it assumes, and the strikingly different ways in which men and women tend to understand and present their lives. Draws on the writing of authors including George Sand, Virginia Woolf, and W.E.B. Du Bois to illuminate the cultural assumptions behind the ways in which we talk about ourselves, and traces the different narrative patterns of mythic journey and mystic relationship in men's and women's autobiographies.
