Après Les Écrivains voyageurs, l'auteur consacre ce nouvel ouvrage aux voyageuses écrivaines, ces femmes qui, du XVIIIe au XXe siècle, ont parcouru le monde avec une détermination remarquable. À travers leurs récits, se dessine une histoire singulière du voyage, où l'expérience personnelle, l'observation et le regard sensible viennent enrichir la connaissance des sociétés rencontrées.
Pionnières, les Britanniques ouvrent la voie des aristocrates telles que Lady Montagu ou Lady Craven découvrent l'Orient, tandis que Janet Schaw s'aventure en Amérique et Vivienne de Watteville en Afrique. Les Françaises, d'abord inscrites dans le contexte colonial, développent progressivement une approche plus lucide du monde. Isabelle Massieu parcourt l'Indochine, Laure Durant-Fardel et Louise Bourbonnaud explorent la Chine et le Japon. Les Suissesses affirment quant à elles une forte indépendance Isabelle Eberhardt s'immerge au Maghreb, allant jusqu'à adopter l'islam, tandis qu'Annemarie Schwarzenbach sillonne le globe en reporter.
Avec Ella Maillart, elle rejoint Kaboul depuis Genève en voiture à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ce livre invite ainsi à redécouvrir le monde à travers le regard audacieux de ces femmes qui l'ont traversé, observé et raconté autrement.
