Autobiography

An autobiography is a biography in which the author writes about his or her own life. It is a self-written account of one's own life. It is one of the earliest form of literature, but the word itself is quite modern.[1] The word comes from the Greek stems "auto-" ("self") "bio-" ("life") and "-graph" ("write").
