Kathryn Besio’s chapter uses the case study of Pakistan to analyze how women travelers adapt to countries that value different norms, practices, and modes of public conduct. She examines the ability to travel easily based on the level of adaption and conformity on behalf of cosmopolitan women travelers. The overall aim of Besio’s ethnographic research is to address the materiality of women travelers’ experience, along with the discursive production and consumption of a cosmopolitan woman traveler’s identity.
