Summary: "Worlds of Knowledge in Women's Travel Writing rediscovers a wide range of authors from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. A stowaway on a voyage circumnavigating the globe; a nineteenth-century visitor to schools in Japan; an Indian activist undertaking a pilgrimage to Iraq - these are some of the writers whose experiences come to life in this volume. Written by experts in a wide range of fields, this interdisciplinary volume sheds new light on the range, innovation, and erudition of travel narratives by women"-- Provided by publisher
