The book comprises over 120 personal accounts of travel to more than 70 countries, backed by informed country-by-country introductions, listings, contact addresses and travel notes. Tales of cycling across the Nubian desert, setting up home in a village in Bhutan, hopping cargo boats around Melanesia or biking coast to coast across America are mixed with evocative descriptions of finding a new place among new people - in a ghetto in Istanbul, a village in the Bolivian Andes or a barge on the Seine - and descriptions of the pleasures, problems and concerns women face in adjusting to different customs and cultures. This book covers a range of different perspectives: from travelling as a single mother with a toddler around Morocco to setting out as a black British woman in support of the Australian aboriginal struggle; a Chinese American woman getting to grips with her second class status in the People's Republic or a British Asian woman backpacking in India. And there are revelations about the everyday concerns, issues and pleasures of all women. Questions of harassment and safety are dealt with head on and woman advised whether they are likely to be treated as an honoured guest, an honorary man or a temporary wife. Country-by-country introductions and travel notes detail the special problems, laws and customs of relevance to women. Listings are provided for women organizations, venues or specialist provisions, while political updates highlight the issues of importance to women in the country concerned.
