In Her Nature Zusammenfassung

In Her Nature: How Women Break Boundaries in the Great Outdoors Rachel Hewitt

'Heartfelt, passionate, infuriating and often devastating, this book will inspire you to fight for your right to tread your own path' CAROLINE CRIADO PEREZ, author of Invisible Women

When Rachel loses five family members in five months, grief magnifies other absences. Running across moors and mountains used to help her feel at home in her body but now feels fraught with danger.

Rachel goes in search of a new family: the foremothers who blazed a trail at the dawn of outdoor sport. She discovers Lizzie Le Blond who scaled the Alps in woollen skirts and photographed fearless women climbing, skating and tobogganing at breakneck speeds. Telling Lizzie's story alongside her own, Rachel runs her way from bereavement to belonging, inspired by the tenacious women, past and present, who insist that breaking boundaries outdoors is, and always has been, in her nature.

A book of limitless curiosity and eloquent passion The Times

In Her Nature Bewertungen

An urgent tale of survival and subversion * Economist, *Books of the Year* *
Deft, absorbing and informative * Times Literary Supplement *
Informative, essential reading on women's mountaineering wrapped within a profoundly personal memoir. There is joy amid the anger and hurt Rachel conveys on her journey of personal recovery through recovering the stories of her newfound outdoors foremothers. I'm sure many women will feel seen in these pages. The peaks of joy, the lessons learned during the lows, and the rallying cry for our right to feel safe outdoors will stay with me -- Francesca Donovan * The Great Outdoors Magazine *
A highly original work Quietly angry and fiercely feminist, its the book Ive been encouraging everyone to read * Critic, *Books of the Year* *
Rachel Hewitt's writing is always elegant, fierce, intelligent and truthful. No one writes as well as she does about endurance - and survival * HELEN LEWIS, author of Difficult Women *
