Patti Marxsen replied to the topic CFP: Circulating Notions of TB in the discussion
Autobiography, Biography, and Life Writing on MLA Commons 11 years agoMy forthcoming biography of Helene Schweitzer (1879-1957), wife of Dr. Albert Schweitzer, addresses Helene’s struggle with TB throughout most of her life.
