Women and travel: historical and contemporary perspectives

This work documents the behaviour, motivations, experiences, and needs of women as tourists and travellers, drawing on both historic and contemporary eras.

With an international roster of contributors from diverse regions of the world, the book celebrates a variety of women's voices.

It will be of interest to academics and graduate students from a range of disciplines, including tourism, leisure studies, sociology, cultural geography, anthropology, feminist and gender studies, business, economics and management; as well as professionals working in the tourism industry, particularly those with an interest in niche markets and segmentation.
