Magical Sites: Women Travelers in 19th Century Latin America Paperback - 1999

by Marjorie Agosin (Editor); Julie Leveson (Editor)


First line

From the fiery vapors that rise from the lakes of dormant Andean volcanoes to the green Patagonian mists that sweep up from the Antarctic tip, the land and water of Latin America tempt the uncommon woman to a foreign terrain.

From the rear cover

This intriguing group of travel journals reveals the voices of women who traveled in Latin America during the nineteenth century. From French nuns who left their homelands to establish convents in Latin America to well-bred English women who accompanied their husbands on business travels, these women discovered a world beyond anything they had known or expected and recorded it in their journals. Their male counterparts may have discovered the land, but these women discovered its heart and soul.
