Join bestselling author Kerri Andrews and ten other women as they each narrate walks that will challenge, inspire and fascinate you.
Following on from Kerri Andrews' bestselling book Wanderers, which retold the history of walking through ten women, Women, Walking is an agenda-setting, contemporary exploration of women setting foot outdoors now, and what that means. This groundbreaking collection brings together many of the most prominent and exciting voices of the last decade across poetry, fiction, essays and journalism: Anna Fleming, Anita Sethi, Beatrice Searle, Gail Simmons, Helen Mort, Josie Giles, Kate Davis, Katharine Norbury, Linda Cracknell and Polly Atkin.
From an evocative and moving account by Beatrice Searle on walking with her mother to Gail Simmons celebrating the low-key wonders of the incidental walks we take every day, from Linda Cracknell on her walk to the shops - when the shops are two days' walk away - and the enjoyment of the changing landscape she passes through to Kate Davis on why walking matters more when disability prevents you from doing it 'properly', this rich collection rewrites the notion that walking is always vigorous, enjoyable and universal. Instead, it confirms the importance of every kind of walking as a political and creative act of belonging. Moving and radical, Women, Walking challenges our notions of what walking is, and who it is for - and encourages us all to get outside, know our surroundings and find our voice.
