{"product_id":"maiden-voyages-writings-of-women-travelers-9780679740308","title":"Maiden Voyages: Writings of Women Travelers","description":"This is a collection of women's travel writings, including work by Joan Didion, Edith Wharton, Mildred Cable, Willa Cather, Isak Dinesen, and others. In wry, lyrical, and sometimes wistful voices, they write of disguising themselves as men for safety, of longing for family left behind or falling in love with people met along the way, and of places as diverse as icy Himalayan passes and dusty American pioneer towns, the darkly wooded Siberian landscape and the lavender-covered hills of Provence. Yet even as their voices, experiences, and paths vary, they share with one another--and with us as readers--reflections upon their gender as it is illuminated by unfamiliar surroundings. Edited and with an Introduction by Mary Morris, in collaboration with Larry O'Connor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors and writings include: \u003cbr\u003e Mary Wollstonecraft, \"Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark\"\u003cbr\u003e Flora Tristan, \"Peregrinations of a Pariah\"\u003cbr\u003e Frances Trollope, from \"Domestic Manners of the Americans\"\u003cbr\u003e Eliza Farnham, from \"Life in Prairie Land\"\u003cbr\u003e Isabella Bird, from \"A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains\"\u003cbr\u003e Margaret Fountaine, from \"Love Among the Butterflies\"\u003cbr\u003e Gertrude Bell, from \"The Desert and the Sown\"\u003cbr\u003e Edith Wharton, from \"In Morocco\"\u003cbr\u003e Willa Cather, from \"Willa Cather in Europe\"\u003cbr\u003e Isak Dinesen, from \"Out of Africa\"\u003cbr\u003e Kate O'Brien, from \"Farewell Spain\"\u003cbr\u003e Rebecca West, from \"Black Lamb and Grey Falcon\"\u003cbr\u003e Ella Maillart, from \"The Cruel Way\"\u003cbr\u003e Emily Hahn, from \"Times and Places\"\u003cbr\u003e M.F.K.
