Editor Esa Aldegheri sits down with contributors Linda Cracknell and Claire Askew to discuss their new book, There She Goes.

Bringing together seventeen women writers of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, There She Goes is an anthology of travel tales to inspire, encourage, and empower women adventuring through the world in different ways and stages of life. 

The book celebrates the stories of women getting on with getting from one place to another — the grit, courage and determination of moving through the world with babies, with periods, with grief and loss, with the menopause, with magic and humour, with bodies that are ill or disabled or seen as foreign and Other. These are stories so often shared between women verbally but, despite the drama, excitement and humour they contain, are rarely printed.

There She Goes offers a new perspective on what it means to be adventurous. In times where fear and worry seem so prevalent, it is a gift of courage and celebration.
