Women and Their Worlds

<p><span>This volume, the first of its kind, investigates the representation of women in the travel accounts of European travellers from the Age of Exploration until the Grand Tour across different cultural traditions, both European and non-European. It brings together, in a new perspective, travel writing, women’s history, and gender studies, offering a systematic and comparative approach to a subject that has not yet received the scholarly attention it deserves.</span></p>
