original source material
what, however, does not merge in this autobiographical text are the ego boundaries of mother and daughter, mother and granddaughter. they always stand apart but close, always in relation to each other, always in a mental and spiritual proximity, but as presented by the text, never threatening each other's subjectivity. in this way, this textual representation of female and, in particular, maternal subjectivity rewrites--or rather, writes herself out of--the patriarchal inscription of the maternal: there is no fusion between the mother and the child; as is the self-sacrificial element of mothering missing from the text.
