"""'This anthology is a start. May it not be the end, ' Andrews writes, before tracing the long literary heritage of Gwen John, Virginia Woolf, Cheryl Strayed, Camille T. Dungy and others across countries, genres and centuries.""-- ""Globe and Mail"" ""A lovely book to dip into and out of, it collects work from women who have written about walking, from the 1700s through to today. Think poetry, journals, fiction, from Mary Wollstonecraft, Virginia Woolf, Mary Shelley to Cheryl Strayed and Sarah Moss.""-- ""Toronto Star"" ""From the eighteenth century to the present day, and taking in poetry, letters, diaries, novels and more, this anthology traces the long tradition of women writing about walking. Among the many writers included are Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, Raynor Winn, Cheryl Strayed, Sarah Moss and Polly Atkin.""-- ""Bookseller"" ""Way Makers is a scintillating and exciting collection of women's voices.""--Katharine Norbury, author of ""The Fish Ladder"" ""Lays claim to being 'the first anthology of women's writing about walking.' . . . Andrews's groundbreaking Way Makers--stretching to around 300 pages with more than 70 entries spanning the centuries--is, she says, 'a small sample' of female words on walking. In its introduction she concludes: 'This anthology is a start. May it not be the end.'""-- ""Sunday Post, Scotland"""
