Dear Nicole,

It's a belated response to your question regards women's
autobiographical writing published in the 20th century or related to it.

I think that you might be interested in considering a few items below such a=

Contemporary Russian Women, Helsinki, 2001. (she writes on Emma
Gerstein, Svetlana Aleksievich, Elena Bonner, Maria Arbatova).

book was awarded a small Booker prize.

  Dear all,

I'm writing a work on autobiographies from russian woomen during the 20th 
centuary, if possible writers. I know already on the autobiography of 
Lyudmila Petrusevskaya, Nina Berberova and Ol'ga Bergolz. I'm very thankful 
for more informations on this topic.
Also i'm very interested in getting informations on secundary-literature to 
this named autobiographies, especially reactions, critics and... to 
"devyatyj tom" from Lyudmila Petrusevskaya, which was recently published.

Thank you a lot for all!

Best wishes
Nicole
