Description
Wanderers: A History of Women Walking This book offers a fascinating look at the history of walking, tracing the footsteps of ten women writers who found walking essential to their sense of themselves. From the 18th-century parson's daughter Elizabeth Carter to modern walker-writers like Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed, each woman's relationship with walking is explored in depth. Walking was a source of inspiration, creativity, and self-discovery for these women, whether it was rambling through the Highlands or pacing novels into being. Through their stories, Wanderers reveals the different ways of seeing and being articulated by these pathfinding women. With a focus on the unique experiences of each woman, this book provides a beguiling view of the history of walking and the ways in which it has shaped their lives and writing.
