Another Wilderness explores the great outdoors from mountain side to the sea bed, and in doing so celebrates women and the spirit of sheer adventure. There are hair-raising stories and meditative essays, such as Terri de la Pena's reflections on the Malibu lagoon in Pajaritos. Alice Evans describes the near-hallucinatory final stretch of a canoeing trip, and Barbara Wilson tells of a mesmerising summer of glaciering near Lillehammer. Elsewhere, rollerblader Susanna Levin hits the night time streets of San Francisco, and Anne Dal Vera recounts her pioneering and gruelling experiences on the American Women's Antarctic Expedition.
This collection of essays from women adventurers is inspiring and exciting. Women in the wilderness have been ignored too long. Congratulations to Susan Fox Rogers for filling in this gap.
