There She Goes: New Travel Writing by Women

Book Overview

An anthology of new travel writing by and for rebellious women adventuring through the world.

Travel writing can be exclusive, centering macho narratives of discovery and intrepid exploration, often made by men who step out on their own. But what about the everyday traveling we all do, the journeys we make out of necessity, or the stories of women sharing in adventure?

There She Goes seeks to expand and redefine the genre of travel writing. In essays that are both defiant and deeply personal, we see the grit, purpose, and determination of women traveling with babies, with periods, with grief and loss, with menopause, with magic and humor, with bodies that are disabled or seen as foreign and other. Leena Rustom Nammari crosses between the West Bank and Jordan as a Palestinian travelling away from her homeland; Claire Askew recounts her pilgrimage to Salem, to honor the people murdered during the witch trials; and Lee Craigie upends the competitive parameters of an off-road bike race in the Highlands of Scotland

This inspirational collection offers a new perspective on what it means to be adventurous. In times where fear and worry seem so prevalent, it is a gift of courage and celebration.
