In this captivating and elegant historical inquiry/personal memoir, Annabel Abbs follows the footsteps of six exceptional women who had a passion for walking. Interspersing their stories with tales of her own wilderness walking, Abbs retraces where they walked, when they walked, and why. Windswept is thought-provoking, educational, incredibly well-written, and all around wonderful. A lovely nod to all the trailblazing women walkers before us and all those to come. You'll want to read this one fast, grab your best walking shoes, and forge your own path.
