Abstract

Contemporary Feminst Life-Writing , written by Jennifer Cooke, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2020 as the first phase of a long-running project. The book, which approaches the gender issue from a different perspective in its biographical works and examines all this problem from a “feminist” perspective, offers readers a special study on different topics prepared with an up-to-date methodology and contains important clues about the future of biographical writing.
