In 1639, Marie de l’Incarnation embarked for New France, where she founded the first Ursuline monastery in present-day Canada. In 1750, Madame du Boccage set out at the age of forty on her first “grand tour.” She visited England, the Netherlands, and Italy, where she experienced firsthand the intellectual liberty offered there to educated women. As the Reign of Terror gripped France, the Marquise de la Tour du Pin fled to America with her husband and their two young children, where they ran a farm from 1794 to 1796.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe writings these women left behind, detailing their respective journeys abroad, represent significant contributions to early modern travel literature.
