passage 4 特立独行而又独善其身的女性旅行者

文章讲解：

①Writing about nineteenth-century women’s travel writing, Lila Harper notes that the four women she discussed used their own names, in contrast with the nineteenth-century female novelists who either published anonymously or used male pseudonyms. ②The novelists doubtless realized that they were breaking boundaries, whereas three of the four daring, solitary travelers espoused traditional values, eschewing radicalism and women’s movements. ③Whereas the female novelists criticized their society, the female travelers seemed content to leave society as it was while accomplishing their own liberation. ④In other words, they lived a contradiction. ⑤For the subjects of Harper’s study, solitude in both the private and public spheres prevailed—a solitude that conferred authority, hitherto a male prerogative, but that also precluded any collective action or female solidarity.
