Be Different – About the Category of Difference in the Autobiographical Statements of Women in the 20th and 21st Centuries

Joanna Chłosta-Zielonka

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present women’s experiences, considered as different, different from
men’s, unarticulated earlier and therefore marginalised. The material subjected to interpretation has
been selected from autobiographical texts by women, created at the beginning of the 21st century.
The authors are representatives of various professions related mainly to the media sphere, such as
writers, actresses, singers, journalists, but also sportswomen or simply “known for being known”
celebrities. They talk about education in patriarchy, being doomed to perform specific social roles,
and their addiction to men and family.

Keywords:

autobiography, otherness, feminine literature, intimacy
