A different look at society: women’s travel writing
Keywords:
Travel, Identity, Writing, Emancipation, Female Specificity.
Abstract
Travel books of “nomadic” women writers represent a symbolic circumstance in which their identity takes shape. Expressing their subjectivity, they conquer spaces that had traditionally always belonged to men. Abandoning their homes, peripheral to society, women start confronting themselves with different realities and acquiring cultural knowledge that had been denied to them. Facing the new experiences, women begin a process of emancipation that gives origin to a female literary tradition, ending men's hegemonic position.Downloads
