Published in 1961  Gwen Moffats Space Below My Feet tells the story of a woman who shirked the conventions of society and chose to live a life in the mountains. Some years later in 1977  Nan Shepherd published The Living Mountain  her prose bringing each contour of the Cairngorm mountains to life. These pioneering women set a precedent for a way of writing about wilderness that isnt about conquering landscapes  reaching higher  harder or faster  but instead about living and breathing alongside them  becoming part of a larger adventure. The artists in this inspired collection continue Gwen and Nans legacies  redressing the balance of gender in outdoor adventure literature. Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our senses: the smell of rain-soaked heather  wind resonating through a col  the touch of cool rock against skin  and most importantly a taste of restoring mind  body and spirit to a former equanimity. With contributions from adventurers including Alpinist magazine editor Katie Ives  multi-award-winning author Bernadette McDonald  adventurers Sarah Outen and Anna McNuff  renowned filmmaker Jen Randall and many more  Waymaking is an inspiring and pivotal work published in an era when wilderness conservation and gender equality are at the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985029197877,"sku":"ByrdShop_1910240753","price":32.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781910240755.jpg?v=1770843535","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/waymaking-an-anthology-of-womens-adventure-writing-poetry-and-art","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
