Femmes a part : unsociable sociability, women, lifewriting / Louise D'Arcens and Anne Collett -- Je, Christine : Christine de Pizan's autobiographical topoi / Louise D'Arcens -- Law, gender and print culture in the lifewriting of Eliza Frances Robertson / Sarah Ailwood -- Some stories need to be told, then told again : Yvonne Johnson and Rudy Wiebe / Michael Jacklin -- The scripted life of Peig Sayers / Irene Lucchitti -- Yet thou did deliver me : the exemplary life of Alice Thornton / Anne Lear -- Size matters : the oppositional self-portraiture of Emily Carr / Anne Collett -- A literary fortune : Mary Fortune's life in the colonial periodical press / Megan Brown -- You for whom I wrote : Renée Vivien, H.D. and the Roman à clef / Melissa Boyde -- Writing food writing fiction writing life : Marion Halligan's memoirs / Dorothy Jones -- Writing as cultural negotiation : Suneeta Peres da Costa and Alice Pung / Wenche Ommundsen -- The language of recognition : Carolyn Slaughter and Alexandra Fuller / Tony Simoes da Silva.

When Christine de Pizan described herself in 1405 as 'femme a part', she expressed a divided sense of identity that has echoed throughout women's life-writing up to the present day. In these three words Christine captures the uneasy relationship between the female self that is a part of communities and the self that stands apart from them. Christine anticipates Kant's concept of unsociable sociability in which 'an inclination to associate with others' weighs against 'a strong propensity to isolate [one]self from others'. It is this complex sense of self - seeking to belong yet yearning for solitude and distinction - that is at the heart of this volume's exploration of women's life writing. Offering a cross-cultural and cross-historical emphasis, it makes a distinctive contribution to current debates on women's life-writing. Its emphasis on unsociable sociability offers a timely, provocative response to the established notion of the female self as a 'relational subject'.
