Gedrukt boek
Examined are twentieth- and twenty-first century autobiographies and memoirs by major New Zealand women writers, including Sylvia Ashton–Warner, Janet Frame, Lauris Edmond, Fiona Kidman, Barbara Anderson, Ruth Park and Ruth Dallas. The author uses the concepts of place and space from cultural geography, philosophy, and sociology and acknowledges the link between identities and locations by pinpointing the various forms of inhabiting and being in space.
