Reviews
"Autobiographics is a perceptive, comprehensive reflection on the theory of autobiography and on the innovative practices of women's personal writing in the United States."-Raylene Ramsay, University of Auckland, French Review, April 1996
"Gilmore gracefully manages to incorporate the insights of poststructuralist literary theory to reveal the shaping influences of language and discourse without ever losing sight of the importance of stories and our ability to retell them."-Rebecca Dakin Quinn, City University of New York, Graduate School and University Center, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature
