Erin is 19. She's never really left England, but she has watched Bear
Grylls and wonders why it's always men who get to go on all the cool
wilderness adventures. So Erin sets off on a voyage into the Alaskan
wilderness, a one-woman challenge to the archetype of the rugged male
explorer.
As Erin's journey takes her through the Arctic
Circle, across the entire breadth of the American continent and finally
to a lonely cabin in the wilds of Denali, she explores subjects as
diverse as the moon landings, the Gaia hypothesis, loneliness, nuclear
war, shamanism and the pill. Filled with a sense of wonder for the
natural world and a fierce love for preserving it, The Word for Woman is
Wilderness is a funny, frank and tender account of a young woman in
uncharted territory.
