With the advent of the "steam palace" in the nineteenth century, American women set out to see the world. Women from various walks of life-prototypes of Daisy Miller, Isabel Archer, and Undine Spragg-crossed the oceans in record numbers. As they traveled abroad to faraway destinations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, China, and India, many recorded their experiences and their impressions of foreign lands.
