Anotace knihy

This work considers a broad range of autobiographical works written by Canadian women. It includes memoirs, journals and conventional autobiography, as well as experiments in blending a number of writing genres. The author supplies a framework for her study by revealing theories of identity and some of the ways in which theorists working with women's autobiographical accounts are changing these models. She then constructs her own "mapping" theory of how female identity is formed in order to illustrate how, in autobiography, identity can be understood through the relationship between writer, text and reader. The texts include those by earlier women writers such as Elizabeth Simcoe, Susanna Moodie and Anna Jameson, as well as variety of 20th century texts by women who write from their special places in a diversity of ethnic, feminist and writers' communities. Autobiographical pieces by women such as Nellie McClung, Lucie Maud Montgomery, Emily Carr, Laura Salverson, Margaret Laurence, Dorothy Livesay, Daphne Marlatt, Mary Meigs, Maria Campbell, Kristjana Gunnars and Aritha van Herk inform this map of women's life-writing. Each section of the book opens with a short biographical introduction, allowing the reader to place the author's critical practice within the context of her sense of her own identity as a critic, writer and woman.
