Internal Dialogues: Construction Of The Self In The Woman Warrior, Ann Shirley Modzelewski

This thesis considers past autobiographical theory and questions whether it addresses the autobiography of the female writer.

Particular attention is paid to Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of dialogism and Sidonie Smith's autobiographical "I."
