It addresses the politics of images in women’s life writing, contending that the presence or absence of images is often strategic. Including a range of different forms of life writing, chapters draw on traditional (auto)biographies, travel narratives, memoirs, diaries, autofiction, cancer narratives, graphic memoirs, artistic installations, quilts and online performances, as life writing moves from page to screen and other media. The book explores a wide range of women who have crossed the boundary between text and image: painters who have become writers, novelists who have become painters, writers who hesitate between images and words, models who seize the camera, and artists who use the frame as a page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Text and Image in Women's Life Writing is an impressive collection that admirably achieves its purpose ‘to contribute to the ongoing conversation on text, image, and gender’ … . It will be of special interest to H-Biography network members and others … . For those of us involved in the practice of women’s biography, this volume grapples with and provides insights about four highly pertinent areas, namely, identity, memory, referentiality and embodiment.” (Josephine May, H-Net Reviews, h-net.org, April, 2022)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction - Valérie Baisnée-Keay\u003cbr\u003ePart One: Image-ing Identity \u003cbr\u003e1 Thinking through the Book and Reimagining the Page: Julie Chen’s Artists’ Books and Faith Ringgold’s Story Quilts - Hertha D.
