Wednesday is about books. And/or writing. Today, it’s about travel writing. Some favourites. And a request for you to share your favourites in the genre. And where is the non-male representation?
I can't think of any! 😞 some of my favourite similar books are women's accounts of their journeys at home. I love reading Jackie French's "A Year in the Valley", Katherine Stewart's "The Crofting Way" or even Edna Walling's "A Gardener's Log".
I had never considered so many travel writers are men, I'm sure for all the reasons you said, but also perhaps personal safety also 🤷

Jan Morris is fantastic although she wasn’t always a woman. On the Road has dated like fish Daddy-O. Weirdly, Naked Lunch hasn’t.
