Women On Nature
Burst out of lockdown! And join Katharine Norbury for a walk across Wimbledon Common.
Katharine is the editor of a new, landmark anthology of women’s writing about the natural world.
It contains an extraordinarily rich array of contributors, spanning seven centuries, from Emily Bronte and Virginia Woolf, to contemporary writers including Jay Griffiths, Anita Sethi and Jackie Kay.
It’s a ground-breaking vision of the natural world which, in addition to being a rich and scintillating anthology, is of unique importance in terms of women’s history and the history of writing about nature.
Katharine Norbury is author of The Fish Ladder, shortlisted for the 2016 Wainwright Prize and selected as a Book of the Year in the Guardian, the Telegraph and the Observer. She has contributed to the Observer, the Guardian, the Telegraph, The Washington Post and Caught by the River Magazine.
