A collection of the greatest women's travel writing selected by
journalist and presenter Mariella Frostrup. From Constantinople to
Crimea; from Antarctica to the Andes. Throughout history
adventurous women have made epic, record-breaking journeys under
perilous circumstances. Whether escaping constricted societies back
home or propelled by a desire for independence, footloose females
have ventured to the four corners of the earth and recorded their
exploits for posterity. For too long their triumphs have been
overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, whose honourable
failures make bigger news. In curating this collection of
first-hand accounts, broadcaster, writer and traveller Mariella
Frostrup puts female explorers back on the map. Her selection
includes explorers from the 1700s to the present day, from iconic
heroines to lesser-known eccentrics, celebrating 300 years of wild
women and their amazing adventures over land, sea and air. Reviews
for Wild Women: 'A stirring whistle-stop tour, led by women who
often risked disapproval in leaving home to roam the world' Vanity
Fair 'Like any good travel book, Wild Women succeeds in casting the
reader's mind off on journeys of its own, inspiring fresh plans and
what the Germans call Fernweh, or a longing for faraway places' TLS
'Required reading for anyone who assumed that 'the road less
travelled' was a solely masculine preserve' Sunday Independent
