Women walking

I’m walking. I love to walk in the morning. Walking helps me get my day off to a good start. It also helped me survive the pandemic, and it’s calming while we’re preparing to do a major foundation repair and house remodeling.

Women have been walking for centuries I’ve discovered while reading Wanderers—A History of Women Walking by Kerri Andrews.

Of course, the women walking in the 1800s were generally women without husbands or children, women who were financially independent. They were women like writer Harriet Martineau, who walked 530 miles during a month-long holiday in Scotland!
