Outlook
The upcoming issue of gender forum, “Literature and Medicine: Women in the Medical Profession” – Part II, will continue the debate on the intersections of medicine, literature, and gender with a collection of essays focusing on personal narratives. Here, all contributions emphasize the healing power of grief and illness narratives in their various sub-genres, such as written testimonies, diaries, blogs, and artists’ books, thus in a multiplicity of autobiographical or auto-ethnographical writings.
