More than 175 works--primarily from English-speaking countries and France, as well as other European countries--are presented here in historical sequence, allowing Lorna Martens to discern and reveal patterns as they emerge and change over time. What do the authors divulge, conceal, and emphasize? How do they understand the experience of growing up as girls? How do they understand themselves as parts of family or social groups, and what role do other individuals play in their recollections? To what extent do they concern themselves with issues of memory, truth, and fictionalization? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Stopping just before second-wave feminism brought an explosion in women's childhood autobiographical writing, \u003ci\u003eAs Told by Herself\u003c\/i\u003e explores the genre's roots and development from the mid-nineteenth century, and recovers many works that have been neglected or forgotten. The result illustrates how previous generations of women--in a variety of places and circumstances--understood themselves and their upbringing, and how they thought to present themselves to contemporary and future readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorna Martens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299339106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299339104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023","brand":"Lorna Martens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078091600127,"sku":"9780299339104","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac76a5b5-d80a-4aef-bec7-f3596ed65ed5.jpg?v=1685473496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/as-told-by-herself-lorna-martens-9780299339104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
