Surviving in the wilderness has long been associated with men, yet many remarkable women also choose to live and work in wild and challenging landscapes. Presenter and author Philippa Forrester (Wild Woman) and journalism lecturer Sarah Lonsdale (Wildly Different) share their stories of women who choose to live wildly.
Forrester considers the grit and determination required for women to maintain connections to wildlife, and highlights female conservation heroes and other extraordinary women working in nature. Lonsdale tells the globe-trotting tales of five women who fought for the right to work in, enjoy and help to save the wild places of the Earth. In conversation with Sarah Lamptey, presenter, writer, DJ, social activist and founder of Showerbox, which brings free showers to enhance the lives of those facing homelessness in London, they ask: how do women claim their place in the remote and lovely parts of our planet?
