In contrast to men's autobiography which emphasizes the autobiographer's individualism, women's autobiography often presents relational identities that exist interdependently with others. In Fadwa Tuqan's autobiography, Mountainous Journey, Difficult Journey, and Jeannette Walls' memoir, The Glass Castle, the two autobiographers shatter the mirrors created by the dominant male culture and construct an alternate identity that is neither purely individualistic nor totally collective, an identity that merges the shared and the unique and invites a whole new understanding of the female gender. This paper aims at showing how these two autobiographers, despite their different cultures and social backgrounds, construct their identities in relation to significant others and emerge as fully independent persons and successful writers. |
