Louise Thompson Patterson, Dorothy West and Constance White underwent gendered, racialized and sexualized transformations as a result of the trip, which they documented in works such as interviews, letters and magazines. Aisha Powell argues that it is salient to the historical record that the re-storying of this trip through the lens of women, as it has predominantly been understood through a man's gaze. This book reviews how the perceivable, rigid, White cold country of Russia provided a place of solace for three marginalized women. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369103831413,"sku":"9781666949520","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781666949520","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
