A Reflection of Differentness? Travelling Noblewomen in the First Half of the 19th Century
 SKŘIČKOVÁ, Jitka
In this thesis is researched the phenomenon of women{\crq}s travelling on the basis of the theories of structuring of space, perception of {\clqq}the others`` and self-positioning. The attention is paid to study of noblewomen{\crq}s journeys from the Habsburg Monarchy to west of their homes in the first part of the 19th century. It is examined, by which means they could get exercise in the public space, how could they engage in it and how did they deal with perception of {\clqq}the others`` on the pages of their travel journals. The initial point is the proposition that women could not travel free on the basis of the contemporary prescriptive literature for the travellers but after all did they go on journeys above all before their marriages. Consequently it is compared the contemporary literature intended for travellers with the travel journals of several noblewomen to contribute to understanding of the phenomenon of women{\crq}s travelling that appears new in the first part of the 19th century. Within the researches of gender history and cultural anthropology is examined by the means of the study of resources dedicated to travellers the contemporary gender discourse and his implications for the everyday life on roads and the way of writing of the noblewomen{\crq}s travel journals.
