| Summary | "A Woman's Impression of the Philippines" by Mary H. Fee is a travel narrative reflecting on the author's experiences in the Philippines during the early 20th century. This insightful account portrays her journey from America to the islands, likely written in the late 19th to early 20th century. The book seems to explore the author's observations of Filipino culture, societal conditions, and her experiences as a teacher, providing a personal perspective on the transition between two distinct worlds. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to Fee's departure from San Francisco aboard the transport ship "Buford". Amid her excitement for the adventure ahead, she encounters the realities of seasickness and the emotions tied to goodbyes. As she interacts with her fellow passengers—most notably, other teachers enlisted to educate in the Philippines—Fee captures a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. The beginning sets the stage for her adventures, weaving between moments of humor, introspection, and vivid imagery as she reflects on the vast ocean journey and the anticipation of entering a new culture, which promises a wealth of experiences to come.
