They also provide vivid descriptions of the landscapes, architecture, and customs they encountered along the way.Throughout the book, the authors offer their own opinions and insights on the political and social issues of the time, including the ongoing World War I and the tensions between Russia and Turkey. They also reflect on the role of women in society and the challenges they faced as female travelers in a male-dominated world.My Russian and Turkish Journals is a fascinating account of two women's travels through two vastly different countries during a tumultuous time in history.
