Studies of women travel writers have ranged from anecdotal and
celebratory accounts to more critical essays on imperialism or the
textualization of difference. This book does more. Drawing from the
life and travels of Mary Kingsley, a nineteenth century travel
writer and critic of the Crown Colony system, Alison Blunt cogently
examines the relationships among travel, gender, and imperialism.
Instead of studying either travel generally or women travel writers
in the colonial period specifically, Blunt examines both to show
how the spatiality and gendering of travel are inseparable.
Underlying her examination are debates about women as a focus of
historical research, Western women and imperialism, and the place
of women in a historiography of geography.
