Sommario/riassunto |
|
Parati examines the ways in which Italian women writers articulate their identities through autobiography-a public act that is also the creation of a private life. Considering autobiographical writings by five women writers from the seventeenth century to the present, Parati draws important connections between self-writing and the debate over women's roles, both traditional and transgressive. |
