ISBN: 0811700445
This anthology features outstanding writing by women hunters past and present. Included are popular authors Beryl Markham, Isak Dinesen, Annie Oakley, and others known to readers of outdoor writing--Grace Seton Thompson, Osa Johnson, Mary Jobe Akeley, Eleanor Pruitt Stewart. Still others--Agnes Herbert, Isabel Savory, Vivienne de Watteville, Paul (Paulina) Brandreth--received critical acclaim generations ago and deserve a modern audience. An introduction to the history of women hunters provides a context for the stories: "Women hunt for the same reasons men generally do, and derive the same sorts of satisfaction from hunting. And regardless of the sex of the hunter, every hunt begins with a stalk and ends with a story."
