As autobiographies by famous women like Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart became bestsellers in the 1930s, American publishers sought out autobiographies from female novelists, poets, salon hosts, and editors. This book analyses the market and cultural forces that created an unprecedented boom in American women's literary autobiography.
