Women have created a subgenre of Greek travel literature. Authors have included a nineteenth-century British composer, a Greek-American novelist, and a contemporary American poet. Two remarkable Bryn Mawr alumnae—Eva Palmer Sikelianos and Doreen Canaday Spitzer—also inspired books, both academic and personal, that draw on their love of Greek drama and archeology. The author of Greek to Me, Mary Norris, will dig into the question of who among women gets to travel and who among women travelers pulls a book out of her experience.
