Signed to the title page by Katie Hickman.
Katie Hickman's social history of British women in India that challenges the traditional, monolithic stereotype of the imperial "memsahib", often caricatured as snobbish, languid, and racist. Through diaries, letters, and archival manuscripts, Hickman highlights the complex, diverse, and often perilous lives of the first British women to sail to India, spanning three centuries from the early days of the East India Company through the Victorian era.
Condition
Very good condition, with a little light spotted foxing and tanning to the page edges, and some newspaper reviews loosely laid in.
