Abi Andrews wrote her stunning debut, The Word for Woman is Wilderness, at the age of 22, with the aim to make ecofeminism more accessible. As a topic that has been saved for the university classrooms, we felt it important to create our Wild Women theme with ecofeminism at the heart of it. July brought about a wealth of conversations with our subscribers and followers all about sustainability, wilderness, survivalist narratives, and of course, Abi Andrews' wonderful novel.
