Description

Windswept: Walking the Paths of Trailblazing Women is a beautifully written exploration of the power of walking in nature. Annabel Abbs-Streets weaves together the stories of women who boldly reclaimed wild landscapes for themselves, from the empty plains of Texas and New Mexico to the mountains of Scotland and France. Through her own life and the lives of these exceptional women, Abbs-Streets reveals how walking has helped women throughout history to find their voices, reimagine their lives, and break free from convention. As Abbs-Streets traces the paths of these women, she reflects on the ways in which walking has shaped their lives and her own. With elegant prose and a deep understanding of the natural world, Abbs-Streets explores the forgotten legacy of moving on foot and its profound impact on women's lives. This is a poignant and thought-provoking account of the power of walking in nature, one that will resonate with anyone who has ever found solace and inspiration in the great outdoors.
