{"product_id":"female-icons-marilyn-monroe-to-susan-sontag-9780595357260","title":"Female Icons: Marilyn Monroe to Susan Sontag","description":"This volume represents more than twenty-five years of writing about female icons and biography. Rollyson provides the bits and pieces that resulted not only in his biography of \u003ci\u003eMarilyn Monroe\u003c\/i\u003e but also in much of the work he has subsequently done on \u003ci\u003eLillian Hellman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMartha Gellhorn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRebecca West\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSusan Sontag\u003c\/i\u003e, and on the nature of biography itself. This book includes a selection of Rollyson's \u003ci\u003eNew York Sun\u003c\/i\u003e book reviews dealing with female icons such as Mary Stuart, Mary Wollstonecraft, The Bront s, Marie Curie, Harriet Tubman, Zelda Fitzgerald, and Sylvia Plath. Rollyson's writing about icons has provoked him to question the process by which selves are defined. Discovering the shaping mechanisms of the self is simultaneously a way of understanding how biographies are built. In the end, this book should be of interest not merely to devotees of Monroe, Sontag, and other icons but also to anyone curious about the nature of biography and the biographer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Rollyson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595357260\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40060543369331,"sku":"9.7806E+12","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_4268330c-0af0-4c92-8f7d-9d88136ba8cb.jpg?v=1651673619","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/female-icons-marilyn-monroe-to-susan-sontag-9780595357260","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
