| Summary | "Reisbrieven uit Afrika en Azië" by Aletta H. Jacobs is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work captures the author's experiences as she journeys through various countries, primarily in Africa and Asia, reflecting her observations and insights about different cultures, particularly focusing on the role and status of women in various societies. The narrative is also interspersed with letters from her travels in Sweden and Norway, offering a comprehensive look at her adventures. At the start of the book, Jacobs introduces her intention behind these letters, originally meant for newspaper publication, which later evolved into this compilation. She expresses a certain hesitance about the book's quality but emphasizes the authenticity of her accounts as reflections of her direct experiences in foreign lands. The opening section includes her attendance at the Sixth International Congress of the World Bond for Women's Suffrage in Stockholm and her interactions with female activists and representatives from various countries, which sets a tone of exploration both of geographical landscapes and sociopolitical issues encountered along her travels. Jacobs captures the spirit of collaboration among women from different nations striving for suffrage and empowerment, while also detailing her journeys across stunning landscapes, from the beauty of Sweden's Dalecarlia to the varied cultures she encounters in Africa and Asia.
