- Summary:
- This book tells the life and travel stories of fascinating women, whether in fact or as possibility, and examines women' s physical mobility in a culture of gendered, postcolonial space that restricts their movement. Straddling the divide between fiction and scholarship, it combines fictional narrative, contemplation, theoretical thinking, scholarly discussions, and interviews.
