Wander Women is a captivating book that brings together tales of diverse journeys across the globe, shedding light on the boundaries and constraints that shape the lives of cis women, trans people, and gender-nonconforming individuals. In this moving and thought-provoking work, two journalists explore the interconnectedness of gendering migration and the policing of gender, as well as the cities and borders that restrict mobility. The individuals who share their stories offer a glimpse into the experiences of navigating the world with a threatening gender identity, the wrong nationality, transgressive politics, or a disability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book spans various locations, from the streets of London to the ruins of Syria, from Calais to Russia to Western Sahara. It gathers voices of people from different ages, including pioneering activists, artists, matriarchs, mothers, politicians, and humanitarians. Through their narratives, the book paints a vivid picture of structural inequality, where gender, movement, and freedom have been intertwined for centuries. A current of warmth and resilience runs through these extraordinary voices, connecting them in a powerful way. They offer tales of resistance and determination, in a world that often seeks to deny many the right to make their own choices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWander Women serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to and amplifying the voices of those who are often marginalized and overlooked. It highlights the need for systemic change and the dismantling of barriers that perpetuate inequality and discrimination. By sharing these stories, the book encourages readers to challenge their own assumptions and biases and to work towards a more inclusive and equitable world. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of those who face adversity and fight for a better future for themselves and generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781787387973\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alexandra Blanchard,Alex Howlett","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098711978234,"sku":"9781787387973","price":17.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1671197080269_book.jpg?v=1671360242","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/wander-women-tales-of-transgression-in-a-bordered-world-9781787387973","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
