| Sumario: | The writings made by women often lie in archives or collections where they will barely become relevant if the “furtive traces” of female historical experiences are not claimed to the repository. This occurred to the legacy of Miguel Lermon, a set about 13.000 books that collects nineteenth century´s first editions and lots of travel books. It is preserved in the Academia Argentina de Letras (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires). Among many travel stories, a selection of works signed by women travelers is still waiting to be analyzed. For example, a copy entitled Memoria del viage a Francia de una argentina de la provincia de Buenos Aires, published in 1850 in Marseille. Based on the travel dates and its publication, this can be considered a pioneering work in Argentina travelogue of feminine. The use of this repository will enable the construction of a more complete corpus of women’s travel writing in nineteenth century. |
