The secret is out: Cuba is the world's sexiest, most magnetic
travel destination. What isn't a secret is that folks from around
the corner and around the globe have been exploring and falling in
love with the largest Caribbean island for decades. Now you can too
with 100 Places in Cuba Every Woman Should Go, written from the
unique perspective of a New Yorker who has called Havana home for
more than 15 years. The 100 places profiled in this book are the
result of decades of travel, research, and living in Cuba by a US
journalist with uncommon access, ensuring travelers incomparable
experiences. Much more than a prescriptive list, these narratives
incorporate adventures and mishaps, insider opinion, slang, gossip,
and conversations with Cubans during a historic shift which saw
Soviet support evaporate, Fidel Castro take his final bow, economic
reforms whiffing suspiciously of capitalism, and
quasi-normalization with the United States. From exclusive
interviews with prestigious Cubans to tales from intrepid
travelers, these stories decipher the mysteries of Cuba while
describing the country's most alluring sites, sounds, and
off-the-beaten track locales. Author Conner Gorry has spent decades
writing guidebooks for Lonely Planet (Cuba included), reporting
from post-disaster situations, and covering Cuban life from the
inside for a variety of international publications. Her expertise
in parsing Cuban machismo and gender politics, analyzing the role
and impact of Cuban women, and ferreting out the best places for
women traveling solo or with children enriches the book. She first
visited Cuba in 1993 and has been permanently based in Havana since
2002 where she reports on everything from clinical trials to
questionable fashion. She has written several books about Cuba and
founded the island's only English-language bookstore, Cuba Libro,
in 2013; most of her explorations for 100 Places in Cuba Every
Woman Should Go were made on a 1946 Harley-Davidson, leading one
observer to say: 'Conner's Cuba is where Shakespeare and Company
meets Easy Rider."
