Author Annabel Abbs-Street talks with Catherine Staples about her new book, Windswept: Walking the Paths of Trailblazing Women. Annabel connects with the outdoors by walking in the footsteps of women who boldly reclaimed wild landscapes for themselves. In captivating and elegant prose, Annabel follows in the footsteps of women who boldly reclaimed wild landscapes for themselves, including Georgia O’Keeffe in the empty plains of Texas and New Mexico, Nan Shepherd in the mountains of Scotland, Gwen John following the French River Garonne, Daphne du Maurier along the River Rhône, and Simone de Beauvoir―who walked as much as twenty-five miles a day in a dress and espadrilles―through the mountains and forests of France.
