This book presents an alternative framework for reading nineteenth
century women's travel narratives by challenging the traditional
paradigms which often limit women's space in print culture. For the
first time, through a comparative lens, a Latin American woman's
travel narrative is analyzed concomitantly with the narratives of a
North American and a European writer. Contrary to the common
assumption that Latin American women were powerless victims of
imperialism, elite women had access to the predominant philosophies
of their time, traveled around the globe, and wrote about their
experiences. This book examines how an Argentinian writer, together
with an English and an American writer, manipulate their bourgeois
identity to inhabit the male dominated sphere of print culture. By
travelling and publishing travel narratives, the three traveling
women writers search for empowerment to establish their authority
as writers and shapers of knowledge in literature. Utilizing
several concepts and criticisms, including Aristotle's rhetoric,
Foucault's theories, travel writing criticism, postcolonial
discourse, and feminist literary criticism; this volume attempts to
challenge old-fashioned architypes and confinements of gender for
traveling women writers in the nineteenth century.
