This paper examines modern Western women’s traveling, their adventures, and travel writing. By looking at their travel writing, such as that of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Isabella Bird Bishop, Kate Marsden, and Mary Kingsley, this paper focuses on modern British women’s activities and perspectives, and highlights how their traveling influences some of the travelers to construct their identity as a writer. The travel narratives might vary depending where the women travelers are and what they see in the sites they visit. That is, unlike men’s, women’s travel accounts show diversity due to their positions and conditions. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu approached traditionally male-dominated discourses across her letters, including a controversial argument about the veiling of women. Isabella Bird Bishop did not describe common and trivial women things in her travel writings, but followed the perspectives of the West European Empire’s ideology. Kate Marsden was ignored by the male scholars because of her scandalous life as a lesbian, which was the worst social stigma at that time. And Mary Kingsley challenged the male-centered society by spelling her name as M. H. Kingsley by insinuating she refused to follow the man-woman dichotomy. Therefore, this paper argues that overcoming their own marginal positions and limitations in the modern world, some women travelers come to understand different peoples and cultures through their self-reflective writing.
Abstract
This paper examines modern Western women’s traveling, their adventures, and travel writing. By looking at their travel writing, such as that of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Isabella Bird Bishop, Kate Marsden, and Mary Kingsley, this paper focuses on modern British women’s activities and perspectives, and highlights how their traveling influences some of the travelers to construct their identity as a writer. The travel narratives might vary depending where the women travelers are and what they see in the sites they visit. That is, unlike men’s, women’s travel accounts show diversity due to their positions and conditions. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu approached traditionally male-dominated discourses across her letters, including a controversial argument about the veiling of women. Isabella Bird Bishop did not describe common and trivial women things in her travel writings, but followed the perspectives of the West European Empire’s ideology. Kate Marsden was ignored by the male scholars because of her scandalous life as a lesbian, which was the worst social stigma at that time. And Mary Kingsley challenged the male-centered society by spelling her name as M. H. Kingsley by insinuating she refused to follow the man-woman dichotomy. Therefore, this paper argues that overcoming their own marginal positions and limitations in the modern world, some women travelers come to understand different peoples and cultures through their self-reflective writing.
