An English Lady in the French Colonies: Gabrielle Vassal, Part I
A great many female European travelers visited places in the various European empires during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and wrote travel accounts of these places. It has been argued by feminist scholars that many of them wrote differently than their male counterparts, in particular showing more empathy for the individuals they met and including more "feminine" topics. Gabrielle Vassal, and English lady married to a French colonial physician belies this model, and in this 5 part series, I show how she complicates the history of gender and colonialism. Part 1 of a 5 part series.
