Theakstone, John, Victorian and Edwardian Women Travellers: a Bibliography of books published in English (Mansfield Centre, CT: Martino Publishing, 2006).

An alphabetically listed biographical bibliography of more than 1500 books by more than 1100 women travellers. Single and married names are cross-listed, and a list of pseudonyms is included. There's an introduction putting female travel writing in context, plus a brief mention of the critical field of study relating to this topic. Under the author's name, each entry gives publishing details of her relevant works, usually a short biography of the writer herself, and a resumee of those of her books with which Theakstone is familiar (he owns more than 400 of the books mentioned and has read others: thus more than 75% of the total entries are annotated in this way).
