Abstract
Western Women Travelers in Morocco 1860-1956" by Latifa Benjelloun Laroui delves into the experiences of Western women who traveled to Morocco between 1860 and 1956. The book is split into two parts. The first part focuses on three distinct periods: pre-Protectorate with Drummond, during the Protectorate under Lyautey, and the post-Protectorate phase. It describes how these travelers, often diplomats' wives, missionaries, or journalists, experienced Morocco, its cities, culture, and people. The second part discusses the experiences of specific travelers, including journalists and women of letters, and their impact on the foreign perception of Morocco. The book provides a unique insight into Moroccan life through the eyes of Western women, highlighting cultural exchanges and mutual perceptions.
