In Her Nature - How Women Break Boundaries in the Great Outdoors

Why have women’s encounters with the natural world been largely airbrushed from history? Do women engage with landscape – be it writing, exploring, observing, studying, running, climbing or walking – differently to men? Rachel Hewitt traces the traditions dominated by men’s experiences, and the ways in which women’s immersion in nature diverges from the template we have inherited. In Her Nature will recover experiences and legacies often overshadowed, unnamed and potentially lost within a canon of nature writing and history. It will also celebrate an alternative tradition of women's endeavours that defy an unspoken cultural norm.
