There are many different ways to say "I." This book examines the ways in which four contemporary women writers (H???l???ne Cixous, Assia Djebar, Gis???le Halimi and Julia Kristeva) have written their autobiographical "I" as a plural concept. These women refuse the individual "I" of traditional autobiography by developing narrative strategies that multiply the voices in their texts. Each chapter examines a text, or a series of texts, that offers a different approach to writing a plural "I." Taken together, the texts depart from current theorizations of the female autobiographical "I" by calling for another category of identity; the women cannot write the self by using an individual "I" or by a collective "we." Instead, these texts rest uncomfortably between the pronouns "I" and "we" and thus call for different understandings of female selfhood and of collective belonging.
