An Anthology of Women's Travel WritingsShirley Foster, Sara Mills Manchester University Press, 2002 - 337 pages From eccentric, to cautious, to conventional, An anthology of Women's Travel Writing aims to challenge stereotypes of women travelers by presenting a range of possible forms of writing and new archetypes of female travelers. These diverse writings also attempt to confront the textual problems which result from both writing and traveling as a woman, such as the depiction of other women, the representation of spatial relations, and the relationship to the adventure hero narrative. |
