Description
Summary:This article in literary studies analyses Daniela Dröscher’s Lügen über meine Mutter and Édouard Louis’ Combats et metamorphoses d’une femme and En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule with regard to the representation of abortions in relation to the categories of ‘class’ and ‘gender’. Feminist and comparative analyses are used to work out the extent to which the autosociobiographical “writing about” represents an “over-writing” of bodily experiences in relation to abortions. The consequence for the mother figures is a reduction to the birthing female body and the exclusion of their social scope of action.
