Description
Waymaking: An Anthology of Women's Adventure Writing, Poetry and Art is a collection of prose, poetry and artwork by women inspired by wild places, adventure and landscape. Published in 2018, it continues the legacy of pioneering writers such as Gwen Moffat and Nan Shepherd, who wrote about wilderness in a way that wasn't about conquering landscapes, but about living alongside them. The anthology features contributions from adventurers including Katie Ives, Bernadette McDonald, Sarah Outen and Anna McNuff, among others. Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our senses: the smell of rain-soaked heather, wind resonating through a valley, or the touch of cool rock against skin. This collection is an inspiring work that redresses the balance of gender in outdoor adventure literature. Waymaking is published at a time when wilderness conservation and gender equality are increasingly important topics. The anthology's themes and contributions make it a pivotal work for anyone interested in women's writing about nature, adventure and the outdoors.
