The Englishwoman in Egypt

In 1844, Sophia Lane Poole, a young Englishwoman, traveled to Egypt to visit her brother, who was a physician in Cairo. Over the course of her stay, she wrote a series of letters to her family in England, describing her experiences and observations of Egyptian culture, society, and politics. The Englishwoman in Egypt offers a fascinating glimpse into life in 19th century Egypt through the eyes of a perceptive and articulate writer.
