Thesis (Ph.D.)--Kent State University, 2000.

This dissertation challenges those critical analyses that posit the Victorian woman traveler as heroine and prototypical feminist figure. By asserting that the excision of race from her critical representation results in a vision lacking a number of realities crucial to a fuller understanding of the role of women and writing in nineteenth-century England, I demonstrate an active and engaged Victorian female imperialist. I argue that rather than manifesting more sensitized understandings of difference and oppression based on shared experiences of marginalization, these women used the image of racial others and their own impact upon those others to shore up their own gender identifications and improve their status and role in Victorian culture via their published journals, letters, and scholarly writings. At the same time that these women writers cite the racial other, their writings constitute narratives designed not to illustrate difference, but to remark upon the subject and subject culture itself.

520 $a This project analyzes the specifically gendered ways in which three women---Lucie Duff Gordon, Amelia Blanford Edwards, and Emmeline Lott---struggle to construct and reconstruct their racial, cultural, and gendered alliances while overseas. Working within the context of travel writing as a racially self-reflexive act, I highlight the varying ways these women sought to negotiate a myriad of destabilized identity boundaries. Their efforts to define themselves not only as women but as white, British women create texts that, once provided to the British market, helped support imperialist ideologies and, ultimately, British world influence.
