Women's autobiographical writing and correspondence (theme)
In the years after the fall of communist governments in Central, Eastern, and South-eastern Europe (CESEE), a flood of memoir literature began to fill bookstores around the region. Alongside this rush of published work, historians and anthropologists started numerous oral history projects devoted to recording ordinary people's experiences of state socialism. The turn to autobiography and personal narrative inspired the theme: women's autobiographical writing and correspondence. In this theme the following articles: - In search of an autobiographical Room of Her Own: First Estonian feminist Lilli Suburg (1841–1923) as an autobiographer / by Eve Annuk - Sophia Tolstaia's and Anna Dostoevskaia's autobiographical writing / by Alexandra Popoff - Defying death: women's experience of the Holodomor, 1932–1933 / by Oksana Kis - After 'A Youth on Fire': the woman veteran in Iulia Drunina's postwar poetry / by Adrienne M. Harris.
