Explores what Western women did, thought, and felt in and about the colonies in Africa and India, areas that have been presented, both at the time and in subsequent scholarship, as 'no place for a white woman'. This title analyzes Western women's complicity in the cultural values dominant during an imperialist era.

A challenging anthology in which a multiplicity of authors sheds new light on the waves of missionaries, 'memsahibs,' nurses-and feminists. -Ms.

. . . a long-overdue engagement with colonial discourse and feminism. . . . excellent essays . . . -The Year's Work in Critical Cultural Theory
