    Indian Women Autobiographies: An Alternate History
    (Chainany E-Journal, 2020-03-01) Upadhyay, Viral
    An important aspect of autobiographies that makes the reading and study of such works relevant is that they can be studied as social documents and as insights into the ways in which individuals sought to present their version of “truth” as opposed to the point of view of a few select influential male members of the society which is commonly known as ‘history’. Especially, the autobiographies penned down by women take the readers on a journey of hitherto unchartered territories of female psyche which has remained neglected for the most part of our known history. In this sense, these autobiographical works act as an alternate history- a view of the world from a very different angle.
