Women, Walking (Notes on Lives in Motion)

An anthology about moving through the world on foot – as a woman.

Women, Walking explores a spectrum of women’s experiences and perspectives on walking, from everyday strolls to epic treks that test courage and resolve. 

Co-edited by ambling aficionados Zahra Ebrahim and Jane Farrow, this anthology features over thirty vignettes, essays, graphic art, poems, and interviews, with contributors discussing self-care, identity, social connection, grief, and cultural consciousness. For many, it's about revelling in the wonder of the wander, for others it's a political act.

The contributors come from all walks of life; among them are Jenny Odell, Miriam Toews, Andrea Gibson, Zalika Reid-Benta, Janika Oza, Ann-Marie MacDonald, and Catherine Hernandez. Whether they take you on a hike or a meander, a parade or a promenade, they all offer relatable and insightful reflections on walking to lose yourself, find yourself, and everything in between.
