The Best Women's Travel Writing 2009 True Stories from Around the World - Travelers' Tales
Author: Lucy McCauley (Editor)

This best-selling, award-winning series presents the finest accounts of women who have traveled to the ends of the earth to discover new places, peoples -- and themselves. The common threads connecting the stories are a woman's perspective and lively storytelling to make the reader laugh, cry, wish she were there, or be glad she wasn&#... more »39;t.

From breaking the gender barrier on a soccer field in Kenya to learning the art of French cooking in a damp cellar in the Loire Valley to hitchhiking through Mexico in the 1960s, the points of view and perspectives are global and the themes eclectic, including stories that encompass spiritual growth, hilarity and misadventure, high adventure, romance, solo journeys, stories of service to humanity, family travel, and encounters with exotic cuisine.
