Question:

Anybody knows anything about Nancy K. Miller or about her work 'Changing the Subject'?

I'm told to do a presentation on Nancy Miller and her work "Changing the Subject: Authorship, Writing, and the Reader, and I have a hard time collecting information. I've searched all over the internet, but even the author's birth of date I can't find. Anybody who happens to have read the essay or know even a bit about the author, please help me out.
THank you very much in advance.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Found these:
Nancy K. Miller, Professor of Women's Studies at Barnard College, is author of The Heroine's Text (published by Columbia University Press) and coeditor with Carolyn G. Heilbrun of the Press's series Gender and Culture.

Nancy K. Miller is Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the Graduate Center, CUNY. That title represents the end point of an academic journey from the French department at Columbia to Women's Studies at Barnard to English at Lehman College and the Graduate Center, and since 1999, English and Comparative Literature at the Graduate Center. The subjects of her books follow that trajectory from The Heroine's Text: Readings in the French and English Novel, Subject to Change: Reading Feminist Writing, and the edited Poetics of Gender, to her most recent books, But Enough About Me: Why We Read Other People's Lives, and the co-edited collection, Extremities: Trauma, Testimony, and Community. The memoir "Out of Breath" is the prequel to all of the above.

Subject to Change is available as a used/ out of print book at bn.com or amazon.com. I found no book titled Changing the subject and no search told me which of her works it was in.
