A ROAD OF HER OWN: Women's Journeys in the West

by Marlene Blessing

Twenty Western women writers describe their inner and outer journeys in the West by car, foot, and dogsled.

Individually interesting essays that are vaguely related to the road — but collectively not relevant to my project.

Too many words. This was like reading journal entries....probably very interesting to the writers, but super boring for me. Probably could have been helped by more editing. I didn't have the patience to finish it.

I like travel stories, and I like reading what women write! This has both, so I enjoyed it very much!

some of the essays were not well written enough to finish.

Beautiful writing that captures the feeling of exploration and the opportunity of 'just going'. The overall tone is realistic, yet encouraging for women exploring on their own. Great book.
