Autobiography
biography written by the subject
(Redirected from Autobiographies)
An autobiography is a biography in which the author writes about his or her own life. It is a self-written account of one's own life.
It is one of the earliest form of literature, but the word itself is quite modern.[1]
The word comes from the Greek stems "auto" (meaning "self"), "bio“ (meaning "life"), and "graph" (meaning "write").
