No longer are the great outdoors the province of men and men alone; in recent years the feminist movement has brought women out of the home in force, to commune with nature and the environment on their own terms. This compilation of word and image celebrates the deep connection between women and the wild, drawing upon the work of award-winning author Margaret E. Murie, naturalist Cathy Johnson, Native American Robin Youngblood and others. Exquisite photographs by Kathleen N. Cook, Pat Leeson, Nancy Simmerman and Kathy Clay complement the text, and almost overwhelm it.
