About this item

In Writing Wild, Kathryn Aalto takes readers on a journey through the natural world as seen from the perspective of 25 women writers. Starting with Dorothy Wordsworth, whose writing was a huge influence on her more famous brother William, and progressing through current names both familiar and not, Aalto profiles a diverse mix of women whose contributions to the world of nature writing have left an indelible mark. By exploring the work of women whose writing deserves a larger audience, Writing Wild is a rebuke of the traditional, all-male lineup. But most importantly, it's a celebration of beautiful writing, the nature it captures, and the legacy it left or is still shaping.
