Women, Environment, and Networks of Empire by Anna Winterbottom

Women, Environment, and Networks of Empire by Anna Winterbottom

Women, Environment, and Networks of Empire is the first detailed study of the art and correspondence of Elizabeth Gwillim and her sister Mary Symonds in South India. The book explores what their work reveals about natural history, the natural environment, colonialism, and womens lives at the turn of the nineteenth century.

“For those who value close historical study of a time and a place and new historical sources, this book – and the trove of primary materials unearthed by the researchers of the Gwillim project that it contains – gives us a window onto British, Indian, and imperial worlds, nineteenth-century material culture, foodways, clothing and textiles, and natural history, as well as women's work in art and science” Ann Shteir, York University and editor of Flora's Fieldworkers: Women and Botany in Nineteenth-Century Canada
