Text and Image in Women's Life Writing
This book examines the relationship between words and images in various life-writing works produced by nineteenth to twenty-first century American and British women. 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.

Women in Rock Memoirs
Women in Rock Memoirs vindicates the role of women in rock music. The chapters examine memoirs written by women in rock from 2010 onwards to explore how the artists narrate their life experiences and difficulties they had to overcome, not only as musicians but as women. The book includes memoirs written by both well-known and lesser-known artists and artists from both inside and outside of the Anglo-American sphere. The essays by scholars from different research areas and countries around the world are divided into three parts according to the overall themes: Memory, Trauma, and Writing; Authenticity, Sexuality, and Sexism; and Aging, Performance, and the Image. They explore the dynamics of memoir as a genre by discussing the similarities and differences between the women in rock and the choices they have made when writing their books. As a whole, they help form a better understanding of today's possibilities and future challenges for women in rock music.

Écritures de femmes et autobiographie
À la jonction de l'histoire des femmes et de l'histoire de la littérature, l'ouvrage envisage les multiples aspects que revêtent les motifs croisés de la vie et de l'écriture au féminin. Par delà les différences de culture, d'époque et de mode d'expression (linguistique, plastique, photographique, ou chorégraphique), les textes autobiographiques féminins sont souvent des textes paradoxaux. Si, pour les femmes, l'écriture de soi inaugure souvent une entrée en littérature, celle-ci ne s'accompagne pas nécessairement d'une reconnaissance littéraire. L'autobiographie remet en question la définition même de la littérature. Parallèlement, les femmes, lorsqu'elles sont interdites de parole publique, se tournent vers des formes d'écriture originellement privées (le journal intime ou la correspondance). I1 s'agit de se mettre en scène tout en jouant l'effacement, de revendiquer la maîtrise de son existence malgré la résistance des faits et des effets du genre (gender). On s'interroge ici sur l'existence pour les femmes d'une “norme autobiographique” commune et à leur contribution récente à la réflexion sur l'autobiographie comme genre.
