Wanderers By Kerri Andrews
Think of famous walkers and it is men like William Wordsworth and John Keats who likely spring to mind. But that's only half the story: here Andrews fills in the blanks with a history of women walkers of the last 300 years, including 18th-century walker Elizabeth Carter, Anais Nin, Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed.
Writing Wild By Kathryn Aalto
This comes with a warning: it will add many more books to your wish list. It celebrates 25 women wring about the outdoor, from historic wordsmiths(语言大师)like Dorothy Wordsworth to contemporaries(同辈)like Camille T. Dungy. Diving into their life and work, Aalto travels to the lands they loved, giving walking and reading inspiration.
Wild Abandon By Jennifer Barclay
If you're longing for sunny islands, this book about walking around the Dodecanese is for you. Many of the villages on these Greek islands now lie deserted and Bardlay spent over four years exploring their ruins, gathering stories from the local people for this vivid(生动的)description.
The Wild Silence By Raynor Winn
Anyone who reads Winn's first book, The Salt Path, about walking the South West Coast Path with her terminally-ill(疾病晚期)husband Moth, will want to know what happened next. This is that story—of finding home again on a Cornish farm. To follow Winn on her journey back to Cornwall is to know how it feels to walk yourself into the land you love.
