When thinking of intrepid travelers from past centuries, we don't
usually put Muslim women at the top of the list. And yet, the
stunning firsthand accounts in this collection completely upend
preconceived notions of who was exploring the world. Editors
Siobhan Lambert-Hurley, Daniel Majchrowicz, and Sunil Sharma
recover, translate, annotate, and provide historical and cultural
context for the 17th- to 20th-century writings of Muslim women
travelers in ten different languages. Queens and captives, pilgrims
and provocateurs, these women are diverse. Their connection to
Islam is wide-ranging as well, from the devout to those who
distanced themselves from religion. What unites these adventurers
is a concern for other women they encounter, their willingness to
record their experiences, and the constant thoughts they cast
homeward even as they traveled a world that was not always prepared
to welcome them. Perfect for readers interested in gender, Islam,
travel writing, and global history, Three Centuries of Travel
Writing by Muslim Women provides invaluable insight into how these
daring women experienced the world—in their own voices.
