Citing death: the last draft of feminist memoir

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle (Academic Journal)peer-review

Abstract

This article reflects on the final draft of a feminist memoir written by my grandmother, who decided to end her life at the age of 92. Barbara's unpublished writing, which she wanted others to read, charts her life story through broader philosophical and ecological questions. My intimate reading encounter suggests that the fierceness of the human condition prevails beyond death, and that the desire for a better world rests upon, and shapes, the words we inherit.
