Este ensaio examina as escritas de si da autora inglesa Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) e da escritora Yankton Dakota Zitkala-Ša (1876-1938), especificamente o memoir de Woolf, "A Sketch of the Past", escrito em 1939-40 e publicado pela primeira vez em Moments of Being, em 1976, e os ensaios autobiográficos de Zitkala-Ša, publicados no Atlantic Monthly em 1900. Este estudo comparativo explora como ambas as mulheres estabelecem suas individualidades em meio a pressões concorrentes que competem por suas mentes e corpos; como a figura de suas mães e a perda materna moldam suas autobiografias; como lugares físicos e psicológicos e o deslocamento influenciam suas escritas de si; e como questões relativas ao público leitor afetam seus autorretratos literários. Ler Woolf e Zitkala-Ša juntas produz novos insights sobre as interseções de raça, classe, gênero e feminismo na escrita das mulheres.
