Autobiographies by Aboriginal Women writers have gradually emerged for almost three decades now. Varied and interesting experiments are visible in the life-writing form by Aboriginal writers. In an attempt to write accounts of their own life and experiences, Aboriginal writers have employed different narrative techniques and methods. This chapter is a case study of life narratives by two contemporary Aboriginal women writers Jackie Huggins (Auntie Rita) and Jeanine Leane (Purple Threads.) The focus is on the different methods of writing while "recalling the past". Interestingly, these narratives create "matriarchal spaces" of expression being written by women who are recalling either their mother's experiences or Aunties' stories. The chapter makes an attempt to relocate this idea of history from a feminist perspective.
