    Karen M. Morin
  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Syracuse University Press, 2008
  • Description

    With a rare degree of clarity the author examines relationships among nineteenth-century American expansionism, discourses about gender, and writings of women who traveled and lived in the American West in the late nineteenth century — British travelers, American journalists, a Native American tribal leader, and female naturalists. Drawing from a rich diversity of primary sources, from published travelogues and unpublished archival sources such as letters and diaries to newspaper reportage, Morin considers ways in which women’s writing was influenced by the material circumstances of travel in addition to the various social norms that circumscribed female roles.
