Inspired by feminist advances in North American historical geographies, Kamp draws similarities between North American frontier historical geography and existing literature on Chinese migration in Australia, arguing that existing male-oriented understandings are "inaccurate" (26) and incomplete. Interviewee recollections reinforced the idea that mothers were pivotal in maintaining Chinese cultural traditions, with participants acknowledging their role as a "keeper of culture" and "cultural custodian" (136) in passing down a Chinese cultural legacy to younger generations. Until recently, feminist historical geography was a relatively marginal discipline, mainly due to the deep-rooted nature of androcentric perspectives and the methodological barriers to connecting historical geography and feminist geography.
