Makowiecka (English and women's studies, Bergen Community College) considers travel writing by women, focusing on the moments in which they decided to embark. By commenting on works by such writers as Cavendish, Behn, de Graffigny, de Duras, Winkfield, Sadowska and Karolina Pavlova, Makawiecka analyzes how writers discovered utopian impulses, wrote themselves into the unfamiliar, became writers in a time when women generally did not write, departed from the male-centered world, and re-assessed the value of innocence to the self. The final chapter, which examines the reasons why such writing was so attractive to women from 1600 to 1900, is particularly interesting.
