Opis
The globe-trotting tales of five extraordinary women who fought for the right to enjoy the wild places of the earth.
A Financial Times best summer book of 2025
‘Spellbinding.' – Daily Express
‘Well worth reading.' – Bookmunch
For millennia the ‘wild' was a place heroic men went on epic quests. Women were forbidden from joining them. So how did they claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet?
In Wildly different, historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the lives of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the earth's wild places. We'll meet Mina Hubbard, who outraged the exploration community when she stepped into a canoe in northern Labrador. Evelyn Cheesman, who became the first female keeper of insects at London Zoo. Dorothy Pilley, who shocked polite society by donning men's climbing breeches. Ethel Haythornthwaite, who helped make the Peak District Britain's first National Park. And Wangari Maathai, who started a movement to plant millions of trees across sub-Saharan Africa.
Drawing on interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Wangari Maathai's daughter and others, Lonsdale recounts the women's adventures across five continents. Evocative and inspiring, this book shows how women can be ‘wildly different'.
