| Sumario: | This book studies the travel accounts of five "lady travelers" to Mexico, the Southern Cone, Brazil, and the Caribbean. As eye-witness accounts, their books record the rise of independent republics in Spanish America. Women's travels provide a fresh look at Indigenous and African populations in the New World and analyze women's social conditions. Traveling as historians, social critics, ethnographers, and artists, Frances Erskine Inglis (1806-1882), Maria Graham (1785-1842), Flora Tristan (1803-1844), Fredrika Bremer (1801-1865), and Adela Breton (1849-1923) reshaped the map of nineteenth-century Latin America |
