Publisher's Synopsis
There is a lacuna in the field of autobiography-studies, especially women's autobiographies. This book seeks to fill the gap. What makes it different from other works on women's autobiographies is the fact that it is an analysis of autobiographies across the East-West boundary. Three of the autobiographies examined are of American women and three of Indian women. This kind of cross-cultural examination, involving American and Marathi autobiographies and using the feminist literary approach has not been attempted before. Nor have the individual autobiographies been examined in such detail before. Hence, this book hopes to break new ground in the area of autobiography studies. The book is primarily aimed at people interested in autobiography studies, women's studies, American literature, Marathi literature and comparative studies.
