Book excerpt: Through a discussion of Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Freud, Mieke Bal and others, author Michaela Grobbel focuses on the work three women authors as types of performance which lead to re-presentations of memory.

Grobbel's work is a critical addition to any discussion of feminism, memory and literary modernism.
