Women, Walking is an anthology of new contemporary writing by women about the radical act of walking and knowing your surroundings. Edited by bestselling author Kerri Andrews with ten commissioned pieces, this anthology shows the richness and range of writing on walking by women, gathering together many of the most prominent and exciting voices of the last decade from a range of genres, including poetry, fiction, essays and journalism. The anthology includes poet and novelist Helen Mort, who won the 2023 Banff Festival grand prize, Anna Fleming, whose book Time on Rock was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize, as well as Josie Giles, Beatrice Searle, Polly Atkin, Katharine Norbury, Gail Simmons, Anita Sethi, Linda Cracknell and Kate Davis. From an evocative and moving account by Beatrice Searle on walking with her mother to Gail Simmons celebrating the low-key wonders of the incidental walks we take every day, from Linda Cracknell on her walk to the shops - when the shops are two days' walk away - and the enjoyment of the changing landscape she passes through to Kate Davis on why walking matters more when disability prevents you from doing it 'properly', this rich collection confirms walking as more than just daily steps or a wellbeing activity, but a political act of belonging.
