Bloomsbury presents Wild Woman written and read by Philippa Forrester.

'Deeply personal and poignant' BBC Countryfile

An engaging blend of conservation stories and humorous, personal anecdotes from Philippa Forrester about women who, like her, choose to live and work in the wild.

In Wild Woman, Philippa Forrester considers the grit and determination required for women to maintain connections to wildlife and succeed in the traditionally male-dominated fields of conservation and environmental biology. She shares stories of female conservation heroes and other extraordinary wild women working in nature and investigates the ways in which the natural world is a vital 'medicine' for our mental health.

Talking to women from around the world, Philippa studies and celebrates what it means to be a wild woman. From the sixteenth-century botanist who was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe to modern-day women responding to bear attacks in Yellowstone, working to rewild reserves in South Africa, photographing Caribou in the Arctic and more, Philippa examines how these women benefit from a life spent in the wilderness and also considers what the natural world gains from them.

Relating some of her own experiences from three decades spent travelling around the world and working in some of the wildest places on Earth, Philippa asks: what does it take for a woman to live or work in the wild?©2024 Philippa Forrester (P)2024 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Nature & Ecology Conservation Environment Outdoors & Nature Science

From the first story I realize that I was On an amazing journey of discovery. I took my time, dreading coming to the end. The stories of wild women was a personal development journey. A journey of slowing down and a discovery of how observation is a gentle teacher. Thank you Philippa.!
