• The first anthology of women’s writing about walking, edited by Wanderers author Kerri Andrews.
The follow-up to the bestselling Wanderers, Kerri Andrews’s Way Makers is the first anthology of women’s writing about walking.

What cannot be denied any longer is that walking was, and continues to be, an activity full of physical and emotional significance for women: this anthology is testament to the rich literary heritage created by generations of women walker-writers over the centuries.
