Résumé
The strategy of the "Other", to borrow Sidonie Smith's words, represents a narrative strategy that allows women autobiographers to speak for themselves, and to express in different forms than those permitted by conventional narrative, what their sense of themselves is. Through a brief study of the autobiographical works of Maxime Hong Kingston, Lillian Hellman, and Mary MacCarthy, I try to suggest that this is a form of female autobiography that validates a speaking voice by placing It in the service of another, by defining itself through speaking of others, or by telling its own story as interwoven with others
