Wanderers: A History of Women Walking | Kerri Andrews

pick

Written with warmth & an understated passion, this is a thoroughly fascinating & engaging read. It's incredibly well researched - the author speaks of not only walking the same routes but trying to evoke & replicate the exact emotions as the original walker! The sections on each woman/walker/writer are given depth by the author's analysis of their purpose for walking - as an act of creation, defiance, escapism, self-affirmation, or ⬇️⬇️⬇️

readingjedi From above: ...simply for the joy of using her body in nature. This book makes clear how important walking was for these women & how & why it formed an intrinsic part of their sense of self. 2mo

so-so

This was #moremehthanyeah! Mainly focuses on women walkers/writers in the UK (in fact only 2 chapters are based abroad), and hasn't really encouraged me to seek out some of their work. I might look up Anais Nin and Linda Cracknell.

AllDebooks I really like the sound of this but disappointing that it's not global. Maybe she'll do a sequel 1y

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks The problem is that there's LOTS of books about male authors/walkers throughout history, but hardly any on women, because the information just isn't available/there. Misogyny (I think? - brain isn't in gear at the moment!) - at work again 😡 1y

Cinfhen Such a great idea for #TitlesAndTunes too bad it wasn‘t a winner 😕 1y

Cortg I love walking, hiking & backpacking. I may pick this one up out of curiosity. 😊 1y

BarbaraBB Anais Nin is an interesting person but I am not sure what‘s she‘s got to do with walking? I thought she was always in the salons in Paris 😂 1y

jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB she does a lot of walking, either alone or with a lover, in Paris (& to a lesser extent, New York) to help her with the writing. 1y

BarbaraBB Ah she walks in Paris, that makes sense. I thought in England! 1y

I went with 'world' - and this book covers (many?) different countries! The song logically followed, and apologies for the earworm (as I have it stuck in my head now!) 🤣🤣🤣

Cinfhen Sooooooogood! Now I have that sung stuck in a loop 😂😂😂😂 1y

Cinfhen Book sounds fascinating 😁 1y

JamieArc When I was walking the Camino de Santiago (500 miles), I would hear this song in pubs, so it gives me good memories 😊. Great pairing! 1y
