This book examines the way in which Middle Eastern women were regarded by European travellers of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Much of the writing is concerned with the secrets of the harem. There was much romantic speculation about the lives of the women, but it was also felt that their lot was to be pitied when compared to that of European women. The author of this book argues that such an opinion was based on a hypocritical set of assumptions about European women.

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Large trade paperback. 275 pages. Bibliography. Selected and introduced by Judy Mabro. First edition. An examination of European 'travel literature' specifically focused on Middle Eastern women. The biases and prejudices of the writers are manifest, but those attitudes also reflected as much upon the roles of women in European society as they did upon the romanticized image of the exotic and immoral Arab female. By 20th century standards a shocking exercise in jingoism and misogyny, but also a readable, if wryly amusing, narrative. Previous owner's name written inside front cover. Covers show cosmetic wear to extremities and spine creased from reading. A sound, tight. internally clean and unmarked copy. Good. Codice articolo 019188
