- No one has examined the history of women’s walking before. This book looks at 10 walker-writers and explores the role walking played in their creativity. There is no comparable study, the book offers a fundamental reshaping of the canon of walking literature. It brings new historical information to wide public attention and is therefore published with a trade, but academically-rigorous, press. It demonstrates that women, like men, found walking a necessary and powerful creative force. The book outlines the ways in which women’s walking opens up novel possibilities, enriching our understanding of the history of walking as a creative practice.
