In most accounts of tourism in the Canadian Rockies, women have been neglected. Correspondingly, there have been few attempts to integrate research on tourism history with recent perspectives from social‐cultural geography. Travel narratives and related ephemera are used to highlight selected women's roles in early mountain tourism. Considering how touristic experiences were contrasted with nontourist social practices, via dress and notions of ‘appropriate’ female behaviour, interrelationships between tourism, culture, and society are also proposed. Gender constructs may influence touristic meanings and values. It is thus essential to further scrutinize these frameworks. Dans la plupart des récits traitant du tourisme dans les montagnes Rocheuses, les femmes ont été quelque peu négligées. Pareillement, rares sont les tentatives ďintégration de la recherche sur ľhistoire du tourisme et des perspectives récentes issues de la géographie socio‐culturelle. Les récits de voyage et bagatelles du genre servent à accentuer les rǒles de quelques héroïnes dans les débuts du tourisme de montagne. Les expériences touristiques étant en contraste avec les pratiques sociales non touristiques ‐ le code relatif à la tenue vestimentaire et au comportement féminin « de bon aloi » notamment, les relations réciproques entre le tourisme, la culture et la société sont également proposées. Les construits liés au sexe pourraient influer sur les significations et les valeurs touristiques. Il est done essentiel de poursuivre ľanalyse de ces structures
