This thesis is a comparative study between two womens autobiographies, namely, Samia Serageldins The Cairo House (2000) and Jung Changs Wild Swans (1991). Both women tell their life stories which cover crucial socio-political periods in the modern history of their countries, specifically, the period of Nassers and Sadats rule in Egypt as presented in Serageldins autobiography and China during Mao Zedongs rule as shown in Changs life story. The aim of this thesis is to show that these two autobiographies can be considered historical references to the social and political life of the two autobiographers countries, though they were written by women who generally tend to put many personal details about their private lives in their autobiographies. The critical framework of this study is New-Historicism which is known to diminish the distinction between literature and history which allows autobiography to be a valid discourse in documenting history
