Julia Hillner's life of Helena, mother of Constantine, is the twentieth volume published in OUP's ‘Women in Antiquity’ series, launched in 2010 with Duane Roller's biography of Cleopatra. An earlier and overlapping series on the same theme — Routledge's ‘Women of the Ancient World’ — began in 2006 and adds a further half-dozen titles to the portfolio, from Olympias: Mother of Alexander the Great by Elizbeth Carney to The Women of Pliny's Letters by Jo-Ann Shelton.1 The pace of publication picked up in 2018 and two lives from the later Roman empire — of Melania the Younger by Elizabeth Clark and Sosipatra of Pergamum by Heidi Marx — appeared alongside Celia Schultz's account of Fulvia in 2021, for example. Late republican and late antique women dominate the catalogue overall, with some empresses and exotic leaders in between, and alongside a smaller set of Hellenistic royalty.2

This article examines the biography of Bibi Harnam Kaur, the young co-founder of the Sikh Kanya Mahavidyalaya, established in 1892 in Ferozepur, Punjab as one of the earliest schools for the education of Sikh girls. The opening of this school by her husband, Bhai Takht Singh, raises questions about the extent to which such initiatives reflected the desire of Sikh men and of the Singh Sabha at that time to ensure that their women should become educated to emerge as ideal wives and mothers. The clearly hagiographical biography presents Bibi Harnam Kaur as an extraordinary young woman destined for greatness, but also raises many tensions, contradictions and conflicts hidden below the surface concerning female education in India, which a feminist reading of this biography against the grain seeks to bring out.

Annotation:

In this text, the Author carries out theoretical discussion and presents the outcomes of her studies of the shaping process of women's identity in the context of a human (auto)biography, referring to the category of identity, putting particular stress to the educational biography, called a special type of a thematic biography (important for the category of identity), and a category of narration, of key importance for comprehending the phenomenon of auto(biography). A human biography is an invaluable source of information on their life and the person her/himself. Getting acquainted with the biography, looking for information about a given person, learning her/his story from her/himself (biography passed through an autobiographical account) or from the biographical materials, e.g. diaries, letters, memoirs and recollection of others. The Author says that one of the identity criteria is the sense of one's own continuity in time. This criterion can be fulfilled thanks to the autobiographical memory, or a memory of personal episodes and autobiographical facts. The problems of biography are closely connected with the autobiographical memory. In the text the Author presents three intertwined categories: identity, autobiographical memory and biography.

Annotation:

The important early Jesuit Pedro de Ribadeneyra (1526-1611) has the distinction of having been a biographer of men, a biographer of women, an autobiographer, and the subject of biography. As such he and his texts seem particularly apt subjects for study given the current interest by scholars in a number of disciplines in the various forms of “life-writing“ produced so abundantly in the early modern period. In this essay I briefly examine Ribadeneyra's most famous biography, that of his mentor Ignatius Loyola, as well as two little-known and virtually unstudied texts: his Life of the pious laywoman Estefanía Manrique de Castilla and his autobiography or Confessions. I focus upon the ways in which he treated issues of authority and obedience in constructing as exemplary the lives of these three Spanish nobles and explore his strategies for enlisting life-writing in the campaign for a renewed, activist Catholicism.

The article examines the use of women scientists by the Soviet government as a possible tool of political propaganda in the international arena. The paper explores the international activities of Soviet women scientists aimed at promoting peace and the activities of the USSR in this area among members of foreign women’s organizations and participants of various “peaceful” congresses and conferences, on the one hand, and the activities of the same women scientists during the Second World War to promote the position of the Soviet Union. On the basis of documents of personal origin, as well as memories, the attitude of women scientists to this role is analyzed.

The genre of biography, typically associate with elite individuals, may seem like an unlikely approach for writing feminist history. And yet, in writing about exceptional women, many of them women of color, I have found that their lives reveal how structures of power functioned and how the marginalized responded. This essay is part of a PHR forum on the theme of “Personal Reflections on Feminist Historical Methods,” with additional essays by Y. Yvon Wang, Natalie Marine-Street, and Natalia Mehlman Petrzela. The forum is part of a larger PHR special issue, Feminist Histories.

Annotation:

The attitude to biographical works has changed significantly under the influence of postmodernism: the refusal to perceive the author as a single authoritative source of meaning has led to the perception of biographical fiction as a fiction biography, creating in the context of the ideology a biography of the biographer himself. The aim of the proposed study is to find out how gender and ideology form the strategies for presenting the Ukrainian woman writer as a character of a biographical novel. The proposed article will deal with 4 works of different periods: “The Silent Deity” by V.Domontovych (1930), “At Dawn” by Y. Tys (1961), “Maria” by O. Ivanenko (1983), “Like a Magnet” by I. Rozdobudko (2013). At the heart of all of them is the life of the first Ukrainian writer Marco Vovchok (Maria Vilinska), but quite different women are represented in these works. The biographical works under consideration demonstrate more attention to the events of the writer’s life than to what she wanted to say in her work. The interpretation of Marco Vovchok’s stories is dominated by their political (social) significance and they are presented as a basis for talking about the life of the woman (with the exception of Rozdobudko’s story).

This article focuses on the representation of Methodist preacher Mary Bosanquet Fletcher (1739–1815) in her biography by the Revd Henry Moore. His omissions and commentary served to neutralise some of her more radical ideas and early feminism, which can be discovered by reading her manuscript journals, as well as the manuscript correspondence between Mary Tooth, keeper of Mary Fletcher’s papers, and Henry Moore. The product of archival research in the Methodist collections at the John Rylands Library in Manchester, this article owes a great debt to archivists Dr Peter Nockles and Dr Gareth Lloyd.

Annotation:

The English reformist writer Mary Hays published a compilation of women’s biographies entitled Female Biography (1803), with the aim at providing other women with examples to emulate. she intended not only to convey her deepest convictions about women’s capacities and abilities, but also to leave her own stylistic imprint on the text. This study seeks to analyse diverse entries of Hays’s collection (Lady Dudleya North, Lady Damaris Masham, Margaret Roper, Aphra Behn, and Lady Rachel Russel) in order to elucidate her concerns as a data collector and biographer, and her techniques as a lexicographer, which are chiefly shaped by her concern about education and by her intended audience: women.

Annotation:

The paper traces the ordinary—yet extraordinary—life story of a Bedouin woman, Amneh, in historic Southern Palestine from the 1930s to the 1970s. Amneh’s oral narratives and memories combine the personal and the political, drawing a picture of the lives that the often forgotten Palestinian Bedouin population of the South lived before, during and after theNakba, the Palestinian Catastrophe of 1948. Her counter-narrative challenges and complicates the hegemonic settler-colonial, ethno-nationalist, elite and male-dominated historiography of the region, and confirms her as an historical actor who finds her ways through difficult social, political, economic and cultural constraints. Although unique, her story is not exceptional, nor is it representative of ‘Bedouin women of the Naqab’. Rather, it offers a lens through which the much more intricate and messy historical realities in the Naqab can be unfolded. As such, Amneh’s biography, as told by her, is also telling of the wider social and political dynamics, relations and events in the region at the time.

Annotation:

Carolyn Heilbrun, Writing a Woman's LifeUntil recently, women's biography and feminist interpretation of texts have travelled along separate paths, the exhaustive documentation required by biography often seeming to overwhelm efforts at interpretation, dictating that the genre remain essentially conservative and anti-theoretical. This is unfortunate, if only because it is in the writing of women's lives that biography and theory may need each other most. The women we examine are sometimes minor figures, ordinary people most interesting when seen as emblematic of a broader context; and of course they rarely lived according to modern feminist principles: what does one make of a talented woman who devoted her life more to caring for men than for herself? Such situations present conundrums that simultaneously resist and require the solace of theory.

In his intellectual biography of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, A Life of Faith and Dissent written in 2019, Paul Mendes-Flohr offers us an intimate view of Buber’s life and thought without neglecting the story of the women in his life and their contributions to shaping his thought. In this short reflection essay, I wish to present a crosscutting perspective on the important biography written by Paul Mendes-Flohr, by highlighting Buber’s relation to women, feminism, and femininity, a perspective that emerges in almost every chapter of the biography. This angle, I hope, will illuminate not only the personal–psychological dimension of Buber’s inner life but also the deep currents of his intellectual life and thought.

Annotation:

In the 1890s, Elizaveta Fedorovna Litvinova (1845–1919), a mathematician, philosopher, educator and writer, published ten biographical essays on prominent scientists and philosophers, including the first Russian biography of a renowned mathematician S. V. Kovalevskaya (also spelled Kovalevsky). This article gives particular attention to the “zhenskii vopros” (women’s question), as reflected in these biographies of the scientists and philosophers. Apart from the biography of Kovalevskaya, the women’s issue is considered in the biographies of F. Bacon, J. Locke, J. le Rond d’Alembert, J.-A.-N. de Condorcet, P.-S. Laplace, and L. Euler, as well as in the book “Rulers and Thinkers”. The biography of Kovalevskaya describes the difficulties encountered by the woman mathematician in her professional self-realization. In the biography of Bacon, Litvinova writes about his mother and her four sisters being learned as well as the women of the English royal family. In John Locke’s biography, a chapter is devoted to the philosopher’s friend Lady Damaris Masham, her upbringing and education, and the women’s position in society in the late 17th-century England is criticized. In d’Alembert’s biography, special attention is given to his discussion with Jean-Jacques Rousseau about women’s education. In her book about Laplace, Litvinova writes about the scientist’s spouse and her role in the preservation of his scientific heritage. In Euler’s biography, Litvinova reviews his “Letters to a German Princess”, written in a form of lessons in mathematics, physics, and philosophy, intended for an educated woman. Finally, in her biography of de Condorcet the author refers to him as the most committed and strenuous advocate of women’s rights, who promoted the women’s right to education and active involvement in the life of society.

Annotation:

This paper explores the story of a woman who “created” her life in the law in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although now almost unknown, Cornelia Sorabji achieved prominence as a woman pioneer in the legal profession, who provided legal services to women clients in northern India, the Purdahnashins. Sorabji’s experiences as a woman in law were often similar to the stories of other first women lawyers in a number of different jurisdictions at the end of the nineteenth century: all of these women had to overcome gender barriers to gain admission to the legal professions, and they were often the only woman in law in their jurisdictions for many years. Yet, as Sorabji’s story reveals, while ideas about gender and the culture of legal professionalism could present formidable barriers for aspiring women lawyers, these ideas sometimes intersected in paradoxical ways to offer new opportunities for women to become legal professionals. In exploring the impact of gender and legal professionalism on Sorabji’s legal work, the paper also suggests that her story presents a number of challenges and contradictions that may require new approaches to gender history so as to capture the complexity of stories about women lawyers.Cet article examine l’histoire d’une femme qui a «créé» sa vie dans le domaine du droit à la fin du dix-neuvième et au début du vingtième siècles. Quoique présentement presque inconnue, Cornelia Sorabji a acquis une certaine renommée comme femme pionnière dans la profession juridique qui offrait des services juridiques à des femmes clientes dans le nord de l’Inde, les Purdahnashins. Les expériences de Mme Sorabji en tant que femme dans le domaine du droit ressemblaient souvent aux récits d’autres premières femmes avocates sur un nombre d’autres territoires à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle : ces femmes devaient toutes surmonter des barrières sexistes pour être admises à la profession juridique, et elles étaient souvent la seule femme à exercer le droit sur leur territoire pendant de nombreuses années. Pourtant, comme le fait voir l’histoire de Mme Sorabji, quoique les idées reliées au sexe de l’individu et la culture de professionnalisme légal pouvaient constituer des obstacles formidables pour les femmes qui aspiraient à devenir avocates, ces idées parfois se croisaient de manières paradoxales de façon à créer de nouvelles occasions aux femmes de devenir des professionnelles du droit. En examinant l’impact du sexe de l’individu et du professionnalisme légal sur le travail légal de Mme Sorabji, l’article suggère en plus que son histoire présente un nombre de défis et de contradictions qui pourraient nécessiter de nouvelles approches à l’histoire vue en rapport au sexe de l’individu afin de saisir la complexité des récits au sujet de femmes avocates.

Abstract:This paper charts the rise and transformation of biography as a form of Africanist history writing. Biography in African history, as in other fields, has included attention to nationalist heroes as well as the lives of slaves, women, and other subalterns. Recently, some Africanist historians have embraced transnational life histories, particularly those situated in the “black Atlantic” of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Some themes, methods, and limitations of such biographies are discussed in relation to the author’s own project on a nineteenth century immigrant to West Africa.

Annotation:

The article presents little-known documents and evidences, concerning the early biography of Olga Nikolaevna Chyumina (1858 –1909) — a poet, a writer, a translator — including ego-documents. The author of the article observes the peculiarities of her relations with modernist writers and her literary position, expressed largely in opposition to modernists. Despite the fact that nowadays Chyumina is almost forgotten, at the turn of the 20th century she was a famous writer who achieved both the attention of critics and high fees. The article examines the beginning of her creative career, the relationship with the critic V.P. Burenin, the first publications dedicated to the memory of General M.D. Skobelev. The author quotes from letters stored in archives, in which Chyumina writes about herself and subjects the role and place of women in literature to reflection. Chyumina wrote from a male person before women writers of the modern era began to resort to this technique. Critics have noted this feature, at the same time in the reviews she was advised not to raise serious topics, which corresponds to the traditional attitude towards women writers. In the second book of poems, Chyumina seems to have found exactly her voice, but the rapid development of new trends pushed this figure into the background.

This article focuses on Indian women who were integral to defining mission in the early history of the Christian Medical College and Hospital in Vellore. It is an exercise in (re)reading the biography of Ida Scudder in order to “tease out” of the text the presence and contribution of Indian women. It identifies at least three layers of Indian women who negotiate the complexities of inter-cultural relationships, encourage the tenacity and boundary breaking possibilities of mission, and use the mission theory “Woman's Work for Woman” in their own ways. Woven throughout these layers are actions that broaden the scope of mission, engaging in ministries of healing.

Increasingly, older adults are unmarried, which could mean a larger share is at risk of economic disadvantage. Using data from the 2010 Health and Retirement Study, we chart the diverse range of marital biographies, capturing marital sequences and timing, of adults who are age eligible for Social Security and examine three indicators of economic well-being: Social Security receipt, Social Security benefit levels, and poverty status. Partnereds are disproportionately likely to receive Social Security and they enjoy relatively high Social Security benefits and very low poverty levels. Among singles, economic well-being varies by marital biography and gender. Gray divorced and never-married women face considerable economic insecurity. Their Social Security benefits are relatively low, and their poverty rates are quite high (over 25%), indicating Social Security alone is not sufficient to prevent these women from falling into poverty. By comparison, gray widoweds are the most advantaged singles.

Annotation:

The article is focused on the emotional contexts of the biography of Lady Ottoline Morrell (1873–1938), written by the distinguished author Miranda Seymour. One of the main emotional attitudes of the biographer is sorrow and sadness. The reason for this is the distorted image of Lady Ottoline in memoirs and fiction; she was portrayed in several novels in an unfair and satirical manner. Literary representations of her can be found in Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley, Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence, Between the Acts by Virginia Woolf and several other contemporary works of fiction. Special attention is paid to the relationship between Virginia Woolf and Lady Ottoline Morrell, the difference in their characters and their attitudes to dress. Lady Ottoline is judged in terms of “integrity” (the concept of George Moore) but her character does not fit into the philosophical schemes. This case study includes analysis of Lady Ottoline’s vestimentary habits, her bohemian style. Another important emotion of the biographer arises from the difficulty of discovering the truth, since Lady Ottoline’s memoirs and diaries were selectively censored, cut and edited upon publication. With access to documentary sources in the archive, the author reconstructs the full scope of lady Ottoline Morrell’s biography. Besides sorrow, Miranda Seymour demonstrates genuine admiration and compassion for her heroine and always defends her against unfair representations.

The article is based on a case study that combines biography research with discourse analysis. The research question is: How, post-1945, might Austrian women who were involved in National Socialism use a gendered victim discourse as a pattern of interpretation to deal with their biographical experiences during National Socialism. As a first step, the article outlines the methodological approach employed. The use of a combination of biographical and discourse analysis takes into account the fact that biographies are structured by discourses and prepares the ground for the analysis of biographical accounts as everyday discourses. In this specific case, the discourse analysis reveals that a particular discourse called a gendered victim discourse allows National Socialism to be forgotten. At the same time, however, the case reconstruction of three biographies shows that the women do not use the gendered victim discourse as a discursive interpretation of National Socialism in their biographical accounts. Concerning this result the article argues that biographical significant experiences of events during National Socialism that remained meaningful after 1945 cannot simply be ‘forgotten’. The appropriation of a discursive pattern of interpretation is selective and depends on biographical structures.

The main purpose of this article is to attempt to show the collective biography of Polish women parliamentarians of the interwar period through an insight into their emotions and feelings, to show the “emotional communities” presented by Barbara Rosenwein. In this text I will focus on the main problems of the political activity of Polish women parliamentarians in the interwar period. Source materials produced by women, mainly ego-documents and public documents created by them, will be used to develop this topic. The study will analyze the individual experiences of women parliamentarians. Their emotions, opinions and reflections on parliamentary work will be taken into account. The paper will also discuss selected biographical aspects of the women parliamentarians, such as their age, education and political views, which undoubtedly had an impact on their opinions and emotions. Polish women parliamentarians of that time had to struggle with many problems. Reluctance to place women on candidate lists was a common occurrence. Moreover, women had to meet numerous social expectations. First of all, they were required to be mothers and wives who were responsible for family life, that is, the private sphere. Furthermore, women were seen more as social activists than as politicians. At the same time, men considered women’s issues less important, which was evident in parliamentary discussions. The main research questions were: How did women perceive their own political activity? political activity? What problems did politically active women face?

This paper follows a line of research started some time ago by the author with the purpose of presenting to society the biographies of women who managed to overcome the prejudices and laws in force of the time in which they lived, which prevented them from carrying out university studies, to differentiate from what happened at the same time with men. The main objective is to show the biography of Chika Kuroda, the first woman to obtain a degree in Chemistry in Japan, in the first decades of the last century and also the second woman to obtain a Ph.D. in Science in 1929 (some sources point out that she was also pharmacist, although this fact is not properly documented). The methodology used has been the search of data on this woman in bibliographical and computer sources, as well as in historic archives. As a main result, a biography of her, as complete as possible, has been constructed. Some brief biographical data on her compatriot Kono Yasui, the first Japanese woman to receive the degree of doctor in Science are also shown.

The article is devoted to the cultural study of the life and work of two famous Kharkiv women who lived and worked in Kharkiv in the second half of the XIX - first half of the XX century - Eulalia Pavlovna Kadmina and Anna Yakivna Brovar, better known as Anna Mar. The article updates the biography of Eulalia Kadmina, analyzes her creative path, emphasizes the prominent personalities of that time who had a great influence on the life of the artist (such as: Nikolai Grigoryevich Rubinstein, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Alexandra Dormidontovna Alexandrova-Kochetova). The article mentions the life stories of other famous women of that time - Elizaveta Dormidontivna Lavrovska, Oleksandra Valerianivna Panayeva-Kartsova, Emilia Karlivna Pavlovska. The reproduction of the image of Eulalia Pavlovna Kadmina in literature is studied, in particular in the novel "After Death" by Ivan Turgenev, in the story "Theatrical Character" by Nikolai Leskov, in the story "The Last Debut" by Alexander Kuprin and others. The author of the article researches the biography of Anna Yakivna Brovar (Anna Mar), analyzes her stories that were published in magazines of that time. Anna Mar's early works are autobiographical, the main characters of her early works are young women, lonely, disorganized, half-hungry, dreaming of love, a meeting with a courageous and good man. The fascination with Buddhism, and later the conversion to Catholicism, was reflected in the subsequent works of Anna Mar. A separate series of works is dedicated to the activities of the Polish House of Kharkiv, a public and cultural center created by the Polish community of Kharkiv. At this time, she chose European decadence and symbolism as aesthetic and spiritual landmarks. Lyrical miniatures become an artistic form of her works. The main themes of the writer's works in recent years are loneliness, death and suicide.

Annotation:

Anna Mostowska is part of the group of lesser-known, even forgotten, Polish women writers, whose works were written during the first decade of the 19th century. Her biography deserves widespread attention and to be recalled, as she was a pre-romantic protofeminist far ahead of her time. She was a nonconformist, an independent woman, who in 1804, after divorcing her second husband, Tadeusz Mostowski, decided to become financially independent and start writing. In her time, she was one of the very few women scholars and writers, that was also a frequent guest in artistic circles. Moreover, she did not fulfill the cultural and social roles assigned to women of that time, as she was an erudite, patron of the arts, painter, writer and translator.

Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, is a role model for all mankind. In every domain of life, one may find the best shining example to follow. For this reason, it has always been an extremely important practice of Muslim Scholars to write prophetic biography. Many Muslim scholars have contributed by means of books of Seerah (Biography) and provided guidance in connection with modern challenges and conditions. Most of the known writers are male, however there are many female writers in the contemporary world who have been engaged in contributing to Biographical Studies. The article is an effort to analyze the contemporary work on Seerah done by the women scholars. We aim to examine the features, research methodology and the trends in the work done on the Prophetic Biography

The article proposes a new reading of Album biograficzne zasłużonych Polaków i Polek wieku XIX (1901–1903) [Biographic album of distinguished nineteenth-century Polish men and women (1901–1903)]. It is proven that this collection of characteristically designed biographies and an unusual collective biography is an important work of Polish humanities of the turn of the twentieth century that can be placed in relation to both Thomas Carlyle’s hero concept and Jacob Burckhardt’s postulates of the ‘anthropologisation of history’. The three selected biograms (Klaudyna Potocka’s by Aleksander Kraushar, August Hiacynt Dziarkowski’s by Józef Peszke and Adolf Pawiński’s by Jan Karol Kochanowski) are case studies allowing for the reconstruction of the dilemmas and text strategies each time specifying the biographer’s unique workshop and the techniques of uncovering it.

Why women do not have their history? Memories of Aleksandra Piłsudska and their role in development of a legend of Józef PiłsudskiA research on women biographical sources belongs to the wide cultural context, and is aiming at collecting and recording of the history and social memory of women. It is not a simple collecting of women’s figures but shows their picture in several contexts, including national, political, social history as well as history of everyday life.Memoirs of Aleksandra Piłsudska are first of all a record of life of Józef Piłsudski and a presentation of his ideas. They show a woman hidden behind a biography of her husband, describing with respect his achievements and sharing his beliefs. She appears as a modest woman, discrete in describing family life and husband’s betrayals, maternity matters. At the same time she is looking for equality, partnership and friendship with Józef Piłsudski.In Memoirs we can also find fragments of a great history of women. Histories of revolution of 1905 and the First World War are very important for political, social and military activity of women.

This study based on library research that discusses the legal status of women in the view of Ibn Ḥāzm. This study intends to answer three important questions; first, how the circumstances of the biography of Ibn Ḥāzm and socio-historical culture that surrounds his life; second, how the thought of Ibn Ḥāzm about the legal status of women; third, is there any thought of Ibn Ḥāzm relevance to the concept of gender in islamic law compilation (KHI). This research is expected to contribute at least in three points of view; first, examine the biography of Ibn Ḥāzm and educational history and culture surrounding his social life; second, describe Ibn Ḥāzm’s modern thinking with regard to the legal status of women; and third, discover the extent of the relevance of his thinking on gender discourse in KHI. Using istiṣḥāb, Ibn Hazm concludes that women and men have the same high legal status. This thought even beyond the perspective of gender, human rights, multiculturalism, pluralism and democracy that are still not familiar with Indonesian ulama’. This is among the arguments that claimed as the reason for the failure of the initiative of KHI Counter Legal Drafting (CLD).

The record high number of women who ran for the U.S. Congress during the midterm elections led many journalists to proclaim 2018 as another “Year of the Woman.” Although not every female candidate was successful, this large number of women running for office provides the opportunity to advance our understanding of the ways in which women present themselves to their voters. Using the “Biography” pages of more than 1,500 2018 congressional campaign websites, we use a structural topic model to examine how these candidates present themselves to their constituencies. In doing this, we find great variance in the presentation styles of women running for Congress in 2018. We also find that prior political experience, more so than gender, is the primary driver in influencing how candidates (both men and women) present themselves. Experienced candidates use similar styles that highlight their past political work while amateur candidates are more likely to use “values-driven” language.

Abstract: The Lives of Cleopatra and Octavia is not simply a fanciful delivering of history but also a clever interrogation of biography and fiction. A narratological analysis of Sarah Fielding's introduction and The Lives reveals how Fielding's adaptation is simultaneously true and untrue, and how she subtly parallels her authorial practice with Cleopatra's contrivances. Fielding's constant elision among author, subject, and genres reveals the unsettling, yet alluring, power of fiction, and of prose narrative generally. Exposing the false dialectic between biography and fiction, Fielding challenges readers to judge the eponymous women, her own artful performances, and the purported dialectic between fiction and history.
