Opis

Using feminist discourse theory, Mills analyzes the writings of three women travellers, Alexandra David-Neel, Mary Kingsley and Nina Mazuchelli. She charts both the shared and individual characteristics of various accounts of imperialism, written from within the colonial system.

Recenzje

`Evinces a keen awareness of the constraints governing the production and reception of women's travel writing. Mills's approach, [a combination of Marxism, feminism, and Foucaudianism], shines through...and is capable of generating highly suggestive cultural analyses.' - Times Higher Educational Supplement
