Abstract
Elsie Knocker was the most photographed woman of the First World War, who also authored numerous (auto)biographies. This article deals with the incongruities in her life-writings and analyses not only why Knocker broke the “autobiographical pact,” but also what the incongruities reveal about feminist self-fashioning in women’s life-writing. Using feminist life-writing theories, this article finally argues that incongruities in Knocker’s (auto)biographies are her means of forging a new identity for herself.
