one's life. It is defined as
“written life of a person”. Biography is a relatively full a
ccount of the facts of a person’s life
which attempts to set forth his/her character, temperament a
nd milieu, as well as his experiences
and activities. Autobiography is a form of biography in which th
e subject is also the author; it is
generally written in the first person and covers most or an im
portant phase of the author’s life. It
portrays life in a very aesthetic manner. People in general hav
e a great interest in the lives of
great people as well as others, which are notable in some wa
ys. Biography is one of the most
popular fields of study providing introduction, inspiration and entertainment.

no published
annotated bibliography on women biographies/autobiographies exists. The
only existing

ignored.
