Three award-winning, multi-talented female writers (aka poets, translators, marathon runner and photographer!) return to nature to tackle the threat of climate change, violence, war, poverty and injustice. But these exceptional books are far from depressing, elevating these stories of girls, women and grandmothers, with profound emotional truths, sharp satire, glowing prose and the solace of nature.
