Abstract
This essay examines Shirley Geok-lin Lim's Among the White Moon Faces (1996) as a performative autobiography, a genre that not only tells the story of women in the academy, but also is self-conscious in the way the narratives of gender, genre, immigrant, and intellectual are told. Presenting her life as mentorship, Lim challenges women to break out of the various institutional barriers blocking their way and redefines the notion of academic autobiography.
