On her journey across Australia with four camels and a dog, Robyn Davidson enjoyed freedom from “the perverted crippling insanity” of “social graces and female modesty.”
Davidson wrote in her book Tracks, “I probably looked like a senile old derelict, in fact, with my over-large sandals, filthy baggy trousers, my torn shirt, my calloused hands and feet, and my dirt-smeared face. I liked myself this way; it was such a relief to be free of disguises and prettiness and attractiveness.”
Sometimes when I need inspiration, I return to a book I’ve already read—one about a Resolute Woman, of course.

Good post. I study something more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It can at all times be stimulating to learn content from other writers and apply a bit of something from their store. I’d want to use some with the content material on my blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a hyperlink on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
