   Book Review

From Book News, Inc.
Perreault (English, U. of Calgary) coins "autography" as the word to describe the process by which feminist writers redefine the subjective Self. This "writing the body" frees feminists from the constraints of history, economics, class, and race, laying claim to a fundamental concept of wholeness outside the patriarchy. Studies of Adrienne Rich, Kate Millet, and Patricia William exemplify the literary and political evolution resulting from this attention to self- transformation. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
