An anthology of womens travel writing

From eccentric, to cautious, to conventional,An anthology of Women's Travel Writingaims 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.
