Women Poets, Ramblers, and Mavericks Who Shape How We See the Natural World
Kathryn Aalto, New York Times Bestselling Author, Historian, Designer, Teacher and Speaker
Kathryn Aalto’s book, “Writing Wild,” celebrates the lives and work of women who found inspiration in nature and used the power of their pens not only to promote environmental awareness, but to change the very way we perceive nature. Kathryn will highlight the role women have played in shaping our lives and preserving the environment. Part travelogue, literary biography and cultural history, both the book and talk delve into the ways women were limited by opportunities and societal expectations, and the way nature writing has evolved over time, from early nature diaries to contemporary environmental literature.
