Outsider Girls in Nature (48 books)

Girls or women that often don't fit in to society, are different, have special gifts, and that spend a lot of time in nature or studying it through traditional or scientific means. Some are fiction, and some are memoir. Some of the protagonists should have been in nature as per their traditional tribal lineages, but have been taken away from it.
