Der vorliegende Tagungsband greift eine empfindliche Lücke der Autobiographieforschung auf, die bisher kaum oder unzureichend berücksichtigte Autobiographik von Frauen. Die Beiträge untersuchen mit unterschiedlichen methodischen Ansätzen und unter Einbeziehung neuen Quellenmaterials ausgewählte Autobiographien und autobiographisches Erzählen von Frauen des 17. bis 20. Jahrhunderts: Entwicklung und Wandel der dargestellten Lebenszusammenhänge, der Schreib- und Erzählmuster sowie der Veröffentlichungspraxis. Wie diese Studien zeigen, thematisiert und reflektiert die Autobiographik von Frauen die weiblich-männlichen Geschlechterverhältnisse zur allgemeinen Theorie und Geschichte der Autobiographik. The present collection of conference papers focuses on a notorious lacuna in research on autobiography, as autobiographies by women have in the past been neglected to an unconscionable degree. The papers employ a variety of approaches and many of them draw upon new source material. Their subject is autobiography narratives by women between the 17th and 20th centuries, with specific reference to development and changes in the areas of life portrayed, in stylistic and narrative patterns and publication routines. The studies concur in concluding that female autobiography centres around discussion of and reflection upon the relations between and the way these have changed in the course of history. The volume thus provides new insights on the general theory and history of autobiography as a genre.

As one of the first books to treat portraits of early modern women as a discrete subject, this volume considers the possibilities and limits of agency and identity for women in history and, with particular attention to gender, as categories of analysis for women's images. Its nine original essays on Italy, the Low Countries, Germany, France, and England deepen the usefulness of these analytical tools for portraiture. Among the book's broad contributions: it dispels false assumptions about agency's possibilities and limits, showing how agency can be located outside of conventional understanding, and, conversely, how it can be stretched too far. It demonstrates that agency is compatible with relational gender analysis, especially when alternative agencies such as spectatorship are taken into account. It also makes evident the importance of aesthetics for the study of identity and agency. The individual essays reveal, among other things, how portraits broadened the traditional parameters of portraiture, explored transvestism and same-sex eroticism, appropriated aspects of male portraiture to claim those values for their sitters, and, as sites for gender negotiation, resistance, and debate, invoked considerable relational anxiety. Richly layered in method, the book offers an array of provocative insights into its subject.
