Conway, who has written autobiographical memoirs of her own, examines the genre from St. Theresa of Avila and Benjamin Franklin to Gloria Steinem and Kathryn Harrison, and shows how these books are reflective of the eras in which they were written. She also examines the books by women from a feminist perspective, and points out the ways in which they differ from autobiographies by men: Men see themselves as epic heroes, woman see themselves as spiritual seekers.
