| Sumario: | [EN]: Glorvina Fort, the daughter of the American consul in Tangier, John Mullowny (d. 1830), spent seven years in this city around 1824-31. She published a book on her experiences there in 1859. Although this is the only travel account on Morocco written by a woman in the first decades of the 19th century, both the author and the book are scarcely known. In this paper the scant information preserved on Glorvina Fort is presented, as well as an analysis on her travel account. The narrative of Fort experiences in Tangier is strongly conditioned by her position as a foreign woman, and by her nearly ethnographic descriptions of domestic spaces in the city. |
