Hello, Leah

Your course really seems to be a fascinating one.
Maybe this text could be a little help, too:
Benstock Shari (ed.) The Private Self. Theory and Practice of Women's 
Autobiographical Writings. Routledge, London 1988. (Especially the 
article by Susan Stanford Friedman: Women's Autobiographical Selves: 
Theory and Practice.)

Are you going to make references to literary the history of confessional/ 
autobiographical writing genre, to the naturalised, inherited modes of 
narration of self and identity? 
Good luck for the course, and keep us all informed!

Best wishes, Livia
