This book is about Victorian women's representations of colonial
life in India. These accounts contributed to imperial rule by
exemplifying an idealized middle-class femininity and attesting to
the Anglicisation of the subcontinent. Writers described familiarly
feminine modes of experience, focusing on the domestic environment,
household management, the family, hobbies and pastimes, romance and
courtship and their busy social lives. However, this book reveals
the extent to which their lives in India bore little resemblance to
their lives in Britain and suggests that the acclaimed
transportation of the home culture was largely an ideological
construct iterated by women writers in the service of the Raj. In
this way, they subverted the constraints of Victorian gender
discourses and were part of a growing proto-feminism.
