The Self-Fashioning of Identity: Incongruity and Self-Fashioning in the Life-Writings of Elsie Knocker
Abstract Elsie Knocker was the most photographed woman of the First World War, who also authored numerous (auto)biographies. This article deals with the incongruities in her life-writings and analyses not only why Knocker broke the “autobiographical pact,” but also what the incongruities reveal about feminist self-fashioning in women’s life-writing. Using feminist life-writing theories, this article finally argues that incongruities in Knocker’s (auto)biographies are her means of forging a new identity for herself.
