Using the writings of Pearl Buck and Ruth Benedict, the art of Mary Cassatt and Helen Hyde, the poetry of Amy Lowell, and the performances of white women in "Madame Butterfly," this book examines how white American women-including consumers, artists, writers, revolutionaries, and anthropologists-who were attracted to Asia found new forms of expression, and freedom in their construction of Orientalism. It will appeal to those interested in American Studies, material culture, turn-of-the-century literature, theatre, visual arts, cultural history, and gender studies.
