Comment

Looks at orientalism, examines "Diana Mayo as a traveler and compares her experiences to those of Gertrude Bell, Lady Montagu, and E.M. Hull herself," and "looks at the restrictions faced by women travel writers and how The Sheik rids itself of those restrictions while easing post-war imperial anxieties."
