'Educated' by Tara Westover
'Educated is Tara Westover's critically acclaimed memoir chronicling her life from her upbringing in rural Idaho to her scholarship and eventual doctorate at Cambridge University. The Gloucester neurology book group universally liked this book, finding it well written and eminently readable, adroitly recording Westover's challenging and sometimes harrowing upbringing, without her resorting to the grotesque or the obscene as is all too common in the so called 'misery lit' We felt she managed this by staying clear of finger pointing or blame. We considered her a remarkable author who tells a difficult story very well. Westover details her upbringing and early life, chronicling the trials and tribulations that she and her family faced.

Western Memoir of Marginality: A Feminist Analysis of Educated (2018) by Tara Westover
Rethinking the gendered experiences of a Western female narrated in the memoir Educated (2018) this paper points out the contradictions between the theory and practice of gender equality in the West. De Beauvoir's (1949) idea of female passivity and Butler's (1999) challenge to the stability of the category 'women' are utilized together with the discursive strategies proposed by Van Dijk (2007) to conclude. through the use of actor description, situation description, hyperbole and distancing, for the feminist analysis of patriarchal influence on the female under the cover of paternity, whereby the female subject is conditioned to consider herself impure due to her gendered identity, sartorial practices and desire to be educated. On the contrary, the memoirist by employing the strategies of polarization and situation description shows that the female subject can only challenge the patriarchal dominance because of the changed consciousness that came out of the personal resistance to patriarchy
