Product Description
Product Description
Women have been writing about the world for generations but until 2005 never had a book been published that celebrated the best women's travel writing. This is the sixth volume in the series that was long-awaited by readers of women's travel literature. Since publishing the original edition of "A Woman's World in 1995", "Travelers' Tales" has been the recognized leader in women's travel literature. This title is the sixth in an annual series - "The Best Women's Travel Writing" - that presents stimulating, inspiring, and uplifting adventures from women who have travelled to the ends of the earth to discover new places, peoples, and facets of themselves. In "Best Women's Travel Writing 2010" readers will: discover the hidden magic of Flamenco in Spain; walk the night and its terrors in Benin; have an excellent last day in Costa Rica; poke your way into the psyche of a security agent in Kabul; learn something new about death and Mexico in San Miguel de Allende; travel the darker side of the Hawaiian fantasy; draw a map of Argentinian tango; and, meet the best people in the world in Zimbabwe.

This review is from: The Best Women's Travel Writing 2010: True Stories From around the World (Paperback)
My career has taken me to many remote places in the world so I give myself permission to be critical of any travel story. These stories give me true armchair experiences with some of the best travel writing ever put on paper. Give us more! Can't put it down.

This review is from: The Best Women's Travel Writing 2010: True Stories From around the World (Paperback)
I have read the travel collection series for many years. This is the best. Stories are long enough to develop a thought and keep the reader's attention. One is amateurish, but the rest are very engrossing and well written. Variety of countries is good also.
Listmania!
