Conclusion

It may be suggested that my attempt at forging this conjunction between two approaches to colonizing women has only demonstrated how far apart they are. Yet in texts dealing with the historical contexts of imperial lives, colonizing women appear as something other than the victims of male myths or the ciphers of colonial dicourse. In both ways of approaching colonizing women, however, we have the same problem of how our contemporary politics of identification inflects our stories. By stressing how lived experience and discourses relate, and how the changing character of colonialism shapes the imperialist practices of women, I am not attempting to deny the contemporaneity of colonizing women—just the reverse, in fact. But our lives and our discourses are also importantly different from those of these dubious ancestresses of the nineteeth and early twentieth centuries, even if we do not yet inhabit the promised land of postcoloniality.
