Maria luna lopez biography of william

"This was waiting for me on my desk Monday morning. Great way to start the week!

"Here's the blurb:

'Twenty years have passed since this groundbreaking book was first published.

In 1994, there was hardly any "life writing" being published in the Philippines, let alone critical commentary of it. Hidalgo retrieved what she called "autobiographical narratives" by Filipino women from their essay collections, columns, and sundry other publications, and focused on how they wrote and rewrote themselves while writing of their "homes." The UST Publishing House has decided to re-issue Hidalgo's book, with a new Introduction by the author, because the field remains relatively unexplored today (despite the publication of many more memoirs by Filipinas) and its insights remain fresh and relevant.'
