translate English to German: Most factors that historically have limited women's mobility have been abolished by now, at least in the parts of the world touched by industrialization, democratization, and other facets of modernity. Today, the most mobile segments of any population are the ones whose resources either are substantial enough to allow for the additional effort of travel, or scanty enough to make movement the only possible means of survival.
Die mobile Frau stellt daher mindestens zwei miteinander verbundene Vorstellungen in Frage: die dem Bild von der Nation eingeschriebene weibliche Passivität, Sittsamkeit und Reinheit sowie das kulturelle Tabu, das weiblicher Mobilität anhaftet und das Frauen, die ohne Begleitung reisen, sexuell stigmatisiert.
