A “Valiant Symbol of Industrial Progress”?

Luisa Campuzano

Chapter Chapter 6 in Women at Sea, 2001, pp 161-181 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Among the profusion of travelogues written by European and American visitors to Cuba in the nineteenth century, there is a significant number of texts written by women.1 These are works of great significance both for the information they contribute to our knowledge of everyday life on the island a century ago, and for their distinctive perspective, which incorporates details of the conditions under which Cuban women lived, and, by way of contrast, the parameters of women’s lives in the writers’ native countries. They are of special significance in the fields of cultural and gender studies for the ample documentation they provide about the conditions that inform women’s writing in the period, and about the outcome of past projects for the education and emancipation of women.
