Bøker av Sarah Lonsdale

For millennia the 'wild' was a place heroic men went on epic quests. This book traces the lives of five women who fought against prejudice for their right to work in, enjoy and help save the earth's wild places.

An original history of 13 women from the interwar years, who successfully challenged male dominance in a wide range of occupations from mountaineering, to motoring and humanitarian activism. Through their diaries, letters and other personal writings, we see the strategies they used to break free from domesticity and into the active, public world. -- .
