Twenty Thousand Roads: Women, Movement, and the West

Rating:
Summary: Great writing but a bit random
Review: Though it's not clear why these essays together make a book, each one is a well-researched piece about an interesting woman. While the author throws in a few theories that aren't particularly well researched or supported, she has a real gift for writing that makes many of the pieces a joy to read. Her essay on Grace Hebard is superb, and is probably the best short piece written about this remarkable woman.
