Some Portraits Of Women

Some Portraits of Women: Voyageuses is a book written by French author Paul Bourget and published in 1898. The book is a collection of short stories, each one featuring a different female character who is traveling, or a ""voyageuse"", through Europe. The stories explore the inner lives and experiences of these women, who come from different backgrounds and have different motivations for their travels. Some are seeking adventure or escape from their everyday lives, while others are on a mission to discover themselves or pursue their passions.Through these portraits, Bourget examines the social and cultural norms of his time and the challenges faced by women who dared to step outside of traditional gender roles. He also explores themes of love, desire, and self-discovery, as well as the complex relationships between men and women.Overall, Some Portraits of Women: Voyageuses is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of stories that offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the late 19th century and the issues they faced as they sought to navigate a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
