The latest issue of the European Journal of Life Writing includes a themed section titled “Women’s Lives on Screen.” As Eugenie Theuer explains in the introduction of the section, “This cluster of articles aims to push the study of women’s biopics in new directions by considering the genre as a dynamic and malleable frame ‘mattering’ herstories in multiply contingent ways. For this purpose, it has brought together a cross-disciplinary ensemble of eleven articles looking at a diverse range of cinematic and televisual biopics from France, Great Britain, Sri Lanka, United States, and the Iranian diaspora, which lend themselves to critique from an intersectional gender perspective.”
