The Arcadian Library in London features a remarkable collection of writings by Western women who traveled to the East over four centuries. This book explores whether women's writings exhibit a unique 'female gaze' and how these authors navigated gender roles while offering insightful cultural observations. Richly illustrated, it includes works from notable figures and lesser-known travelers.
