Description
Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation
This beautifully written history celebrates women who defied expectations and found independence in the great outdoors. From the landscapes of New England to the trails of Montana, Tiya Miles brings to life the stories of trailblazing women like Sacagawea, Pocahontas, Dolores Huerta, and Grace Lee Boggs.
Through their experiences, Miles reveals how the outdoors was not only a source of joy but also a means of resistance against assimilation, racism, and sexism. This lyrical work of history puts girls of all races at center stage, arguing for equal access to outdoor spaces for young women today.
