- Description
- This book presents a dialogue between Western and Middle Eastern women that is often presumed never to have happened. Not only were women from the Middle East imagined to be shut up in a harem all day without access to education, ideas or the outside world, but the extent to which Western women travellers were able to engage with women in the regions they visited has often been overlooked. This collection provides extracts from Ottoman, Egyptian and British and American writers – each with a biographical and literary introduction – that trace the development of an intellectual, personal and critical dialogue between women over a period of accelerated social change marked by Arab nationalism and Egypt’s move to independence, and the establishment of the Turkish Republic at the end of the Ottoman Empire.

- Description
- When Lady Mary Wortley Montagu visited baths in Turkey in 1717, she was the first European woman on record to have ever done so. Montagu’s account of her journey slowly brought the area now known as the Middle East into the consciousness of Western women. By the early 1800s, the taste for things Oriental had firmly gripped Europe. Richly illustrated with photos and sketches, Dreaming of East examines not just the exotic trappings of the Middle East but the heady freedoms it offered Western women. Trained to defer to men, women travellers were suddenly free to make their own choices. For a woman all too used to her inferior status at home, this venture into the land of latent sexuality and freedom was exhilarating. When she eventually returned to her own society, she would never be content there again.
