A wide-ranging study of women's travel writing between 1714 and 1789, including the writings of elite women on sensitive diplomatic missions, working governesses, and middle-class travellers. Katrina O'Loughlin explores women's use of the travel genre to authorise their experiences and to engage in contemporary cultural debates.
