And yet, the stunning firsthand accounts in this collection completely upend preconceived notions of who was exploring the world. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditors Siobhan Lambert-Hurley, Daniel Majchrowicz, and Sunil Sharma recover, translate, annotate, and provide historical and cultural context for the 17th- to 20th-century writings of Muslim women travelers in ten different languages. Queens and captives, pilgrims and provocateurs, these women are diverse. Their connection to Islam is wide-ranging as well, from the devout to those who distanced themselves from religion. What unites these adventurers is a concern for other women they encounter, their willingness to record their experiences, and the constant thoughts they cast homeward even as they traveled a world that was not always prepared to welcome them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for readers interested in gender, Islam, travel writing, and global history, \u003ci\u003eThree Centuries of Travel Writing by Muslim Women\u003c\/i\u003e provides invaluable insight into how these daring women experienced the world--in their own voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSiobhan Lambert-Hurley is Professor of Global History at the University of Sheffield.
