- Description
- This book describes ten women over the past three hundred years who have found walking essential to their sense of themselves, as people and as writers. It traces their footsteps, from the eighteenth-century to modern walker-writers. Amongst them, Elizabeth Carter, Nan Shepherd, Cheryl Strayed, Dorothy Wordsworth, Ellen Weeton, Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, Harriet Martineau, Virginia Woolf, Anaïs Nin, and Linda Cracknell.
