Literary Perspectives on the Discourse of Natural History: Gender,
Science and Authority in Women's Travel Writing analyzes the
interrelations among authority, gender and the scientific
discipline of natural history in the works of transatlantic women
travelers from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Michelle Medeiros sheds new light on our understanding of the
literary perspectives of the discourse of natural history and how
these viewpoints had a surprising impact in areas that went beyond
scientific fields. This book advances the study of travel writing
and gender in new directions by bringing together Latin American,
European, and American women travelers who actively engaged in
natural history discussions in their writings. By demonstrating how
these women were only able to participate in intellectual
enterprises by embarking on transatlantic voyages, this book
discloses how the work produced by these travelers challenged and
reshaped dominant discourses, bringing a new point of view to
nineteenth and twentieth-centuries studies in Latin American
history, literature, cultural studies, and history of science.
Moreover, this book analyzes to what extent the approaches employed
by female travel writers who wanted to engage in the production of
knowledge has evolved in that time period, and to what degree such
changes could be considered positive and more productive.
