| Abstract: | Louise Colet and Leonie d`Aunet are two writers who, after their journey in Netherlands, left behind two stories about quite the same things that they saw during their trips. For them, the journey means the meeting with each other and also finding oneself; each shows her behavior by exterior signs (gestures, make-up, clothes, jewelry, language and behavior) and we can establish the identity and position of the traveler by studying their structures of either “woman of cultural consummation” or “woman of action”. They make some sort of anthropological study of people, their morals, their homes (residences, dwellings), their habits; they observe the cleanliness, the exaggerate tidiness, the characteristics of the nation: the order, the consummation of beer instead of water. Their looks turn to the women (they lean toward women) but they are also quite critical about them. |
