Sophia Lane Poole was an English orientalist, the estranged wife of Edward Poole, and sister of the famous orientalist Edward William Lane. It was he who suggested that she and her sons join him in Egypt so that she could report on the female side of Egypt's gender segregated society, resulting in this book subtitled Letters from Cairo, Written During a Residence There in 1842, 3 & 4, which was published in 1845. The book contains large sections of her brother's previously unpublished work, altered so that it appears from her own perspective. Like her brother, Sophia adopted local customs and dress in order to gain acceptance in Egyptian social circles. She disliked the veiling which she always wore but it enabled her to enter harems, bathhouses and other "women only" areas, and the accounts of these in the book are all her own work.

Policing Egyptian Women delineates the intricate manner in which the modern state in Egypt monitored, controlled, and "policed" the bodies of subaltern women. Some of these women were runaway slaves, others were deflowered outside of marriage, and still others were prostitutes. Kozma traces the effects of nineteenth-century developments such as the expansion of cities, the abolition of the slave trade, the formation of a new legal system, and the development of a new forensic medical expertise on these women who lived at the margins of society.
