More women travel

This brand new edition of "Women Travel," Rough Guide's anthology of contemporary accounts of travel fron a woman's perspective, takes the journey further. The accounts span some sixty countries and provide first-hand experience of the pleasures, pitfalls and concerns women face in adjusting to different customs and cultures. They include intrepid tales of solo treks in the Himalayas and hacking through the Malaysian jungle, candid descriptions of backpacking across Canada, Europe and India, working in Japan and Greece, sashaying along Copacabana Beach, and hanging out at a women's music festival in Michigan. Backing up these journeys and journals are informed country-by-country introductions, valuable contact listings and reviews of further reading.
