This book was released on 1928 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What were the thoughts of a little girl who went out as an emigrant to Kansas in 1862? Who knows what it is to depend on the food to be found there? The terrors of a prairie fire? What it is to see Indians in full war paint filling one's doorway? Who can understand the feelings of fifty women and children left unprotected beyond reach of civilization while their men fought off Confederate raiders and died where they fell without medical care? A visit to paris, described at the book's close, provides contrast and we lose sight of la petite savage as she presses her eye to a knothole of the boarding around the Tuileries to catch a glimpse of hte Prince Imperial at play."--Jacket flap.

Download or read book As Told By Herself written by Lorna Martens and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Told by Herself offers the first systematic study of women's autobiographical writing about childhood. 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? Stopping just before second-wave feminism brought an explosion in women's childhood autobiographical writing, As Told by Herself 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.
