Lucie, Lady Duff-Gordon, fue una escritora inglesa cuyas cartas desde Egipto y el Cabo ofrecen una fascinante visión de su vida y época. Su correspondencia es célebre por sus observaciones sobre la cultura, religión y costumbres egipcias, transmitidas con humor e historias personales recopiladas de quienes la rodeaban. Si bien a menudo se la consideraba progresista y tolerante, sus escritos también reflejan perspectivas contemporáneas. Su estilo se caracteriza por una aguda observación y una narrativa subjetiva que transporta al lector a su mundo.
