Moving Dangerously: Women and Travel, 1850-1950
A two-day international and interdisciplinary conference, held at Newcastle University, UK, from 13-14 April 20120. The conference explores the changing relationship of women and travel across key moments in modernity, such the First World War and its effects on women’s independence, the developments in British Imperial activity, and the boom in rail, air and sea travel. The conference aims to stimulate academic discussion on a range of topics relating to women and travel in the period ranging from 1850-1950. These topics include representations of women and travel in fiction and film, non-fictional portrayals and documentations, as well as archival work on first-hand accounts of women travellers.
Registration for this event is now open.
