The globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth.
For millennia the ยwildย was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were prevented from joining them, either through physical control or powerful myths about what would happen if they ventured beyond the city wall or village boundary. So how did women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet?
In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earthยs wild places. Weยll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning menยs climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britainยs first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa.
Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathaiยs daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the womenยs adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be ยwildly differentย.
