MEMOIRS. The term memoir comes from the early 15th century Anglo-French word memorie, meaning “written record” or “something written to be kept in mind.” In a memoir, the author relates and reflects on experiences from their own life. Memoirs and autobiographies share many similarities, as both are types of self-written biographies. But while an autobiography provides a comprehensive account of someone’s life, a memoir is a series of formative or notable memories or events that impacted the author in some way. Memoirs also focus on the author’s thoughts and feelings about those events, what they learned, and how they integrated the experiences into their life.
