What emerges is a group of women writers who were not afraid to voice their thoughts in the presence of authority figures and unfavourable circumstances. \u003ci\u003eThree Centuries of Travel Writing by Muslim Women Writers\u003c\/i\u003e is an enduring testament to just a few of the countless fascinating stories documented by women travellers throughout the ages.\u003c\/p\u003e - Fehmida Zakeer (The National News) \u003cp\u003eThis anthology will be of interest to anyone working on travel, colonial history, Muslim women, and comparative literature, Islamic Studies.

It appeals to students of Islamic history because it offers important insights about family structures and social habits, including some interesting ethno-graphic notes that are otherwise under looked in texts that are more focused on the history of the Islamic institutions. It is an important tool for students who have an interest in gender and women studies especially as it contributes to decentring Europe and the West and shifting the focus on the Muslim world.\u003c\/p\u003e - Lucia Sorbera, The University of Sydney (Afriche e Orienti) \u003cp\u003eThis timely scholarly intervention provides a much-needed counternarrative to the stereotypical conceptions and notions of what it meant—or means—to be a Muslim woman . . . Going through the narratives in \u003ci\u003eThree Centuries of Travel Writing by Muslim Women\u003c\/i\u003e, one is touched by their authenticity. In speaking of traditionally feminine concerns, none of the women seem to be relinquishing power, but rather exerting it, usually in a quiet, confident, and rather subversive manner. The excerpts contained in the book suggest that a much larger and richer body of work is available for translation to provide alternative, authentic narratives of the Muslim woman's experience.\u003c\/p\u003e - Mariam Zia (Scholarly Editing) \u003cp\u003e'Three Centuries of Travel Writing by Muslim Women', edited by Siobhan Lambert-Hurley, Daniel Majchrowicz, and Sunil Sharma, disrupts this narrative in a groundbreaking way. It's a meticulously curated collection of firsthand accounts of Muslim women travellers, spanning ten different languages across the 17th to the 20th centuries. This book is more than just a travelogue; it's an act of historical reclamation that unearths the voices of intrepid women who ventured out into the world, defying the stereotypes of female seclusion often associated with Muslim societies.\u003c\/p\u003e - Sobhika Vasanthan (Homegrown)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen thinking of intrepid travelers from past centuries, we don't usually put Muslim women at the top of the list.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\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\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eA Note on Translation, Transliteration and Syntax\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Muslim Women, Travel Writing and Cultures of Mobility, by Siobhan Lambert-Hurley and Daniel Majchrowicz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Travel as Pilgrimage\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1.
