The Best Women's Travel Writing, Volume 13

Praise for The Best Women’s Travel Writing series:

“In story after story, the refreshing absence of bluster and bravado, coupled with the optimism necessary for bold travel, create a unifying narrative that testifies to the personal value and cultural import of leaving the perceived safety of home and setting out into the wider world.” —The New York Times Book Review

“The mix of tones and topics—sorrowful and joyful, the positive side of travel and the negative—reflects the “duality” many travelers face.” —AFAR

“In this, its twelfth edition, The Best Women’s Travel Writing proves again that it has found a formula that works.” —Perceptive Travel

“The authors here know how to spin a tale.” —Body+Soul

“A contemplative break from daily life…a wise and affectionate collection.” —Clarion Reviews
