Abstract:Mobility is the hallmark of modernity. However, studies of modernity are often centered on men's mobility, overlooking women's engagement with and experience of forms of mobility as depicted by American women novelists during the period when mobility was increased by modern transportation and urbanization. This paper examines women's experience with mobility so as to identify different experiences women and men have with modernity and challenge male centered perspective of modernity. American women writers sought to present multiple and polycentric modernities and participated in a dialogue about the nature of modernity. This paper hopes to trace the complexities of women's location in modernity and to contribute to the scholarly engagement with the gendering of modernity in this period.
