%0 Journal Article %T Introduction %A Martina Kohl %J American Studies Journal %D 2011 %I American Studies Journal %X The American Studies Journal 55 is an unusual edition if we compare it to all its predecessors. It is a collection of memoir pieces, a reflection upon a specific theme, a look back at a significant moment or moments by five women: art historian and writer Moira Roth, novelists Nahid Rachlin and G¨¹neli G¨¹n, poet Lisa Suhair Majaj, and artist and writer Mindy Weisel. All of them were inspired by the topic that I suggested to them: ¡°Women¡¯s Voices from the House of Time,¡± which comes from the title of a poem by Moira Roth now serving as the gate through which the reader approaches this journal. %K United States %K America %K history %K memoirs %K literature %K arts %K women %U http://www.asjournal.org/archive/55/193.html
