Acerca de esta escucha
This is a book about ten women over the past three hundred years who have found walking essential to their sense of themselves, as people and as writers. Wanderers traces their footsteps, from eighteenth-century parson's daughter Elizabeth Carter—who desired nothing more than to be taken for a vagabond in the wilds of southern England—to modern walker-writers such as Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed.
For each, walking was integral, whether it was rambling for miles across the Highlands, like Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, or pacing novels into being, as Virginia Woolf did around Bloomsbury. Offering a beguiling view of the history of walking, Wanderers guides us through the different ways of seeing-of being-articulated by these ten pathfinding women.

The many varied reasons for walking!
I enjoyed hearing experience of women walkers through the decades and even centuries. Some for pleasure and exploration, some for emotional healing and stability, some to escape, some to find friendship, some to find solitude, some to find romance, some to challenge themselves, and some to comfort themselves. Even some, walking in past trails of people who have passed on, and to feel near to them. And most of the women, a combination of all these reasons at different times. I never thought about the stigma for women walking in the past. It is an inspiration for more walking!
