Reading Between the Lines The Diaries of Women By
Betty Jane Wylie
Wylie has chosen excerpts that give us vivid portraits of
lives and times that have often been relegated to the margins of history. Whether
it is the delicate musings of a 10th-century Japanese court woman writing in
her “Pillow Book” or the marital complaints of a 17th-century English
lady, she finds the common threads of women’s lives and weaves them into
a thought-provoking study of what it is to be female in a man’s world.
In addition to the insights she uncovers in women’s
diaries, Wylie examines the obstacles that have prevented women from writing,
the secret codes diarists
have developed, the wide range of subjects they have covered, and even how
the journals themselves have survived the passage of time.
At a time when women everywhere are recognizing the
power of the diary – what
is now called life writing – Reading Between the Lines in an inspiring
and memorable guide.
