Cynthia Enloe

  • “In many societies being feminine has been defined as sticking close to home. Masculinity, by contrast, has been the passport for travel. Feminist geographers and ethnographers have been amassing evidence revealing that a principal difference between women and men in countless societies has been the license to travel away from a place thought of as 'home.'”

Cynthia Enloe, U.S. academic, writer

(1938)
