• Description:
  The practice of life writing, seemingly vastly anthropocentric, can be perceived as a valuable testimony to human-animal relations. The history of women’s autobiographical writing in particular demonstrates shows how necessary it is for an autobiographer to include other, often non-human perspectives in a narrative. Drawing on the theory of autobiography as well as the conceptions of Éric Baratay and Erica Fudge, I argue that personal narratives can be seen as a practice of leaving behind traces of both human and non-human experience. Taking the autobiographies by Colette, Virginia Woolf and Zofia Nałkowska as representative examples, I try to shed light on the possible ways of finding those traces and revealing how animal lives are entangled with the lives of the autobiographers. Such a reading mode enables to recognize non-human animals as agents and subjects that are strongly interrelated with but not dependent on humans.  ;
  The article discusses the possibility of reading women’s autobiographies with the main focus on the lives non-human animals. Drawing on the theory of autobiography and the field of animal studies I argue that it is feasible to extract valid and accurate accounts of numerous human-animal relationships or find traces of various animal experience whereby animals can be recognized as agents and subjects.
