★ A brand-new collection of travel literature written by and for rebellious women, telling their stories of traveling the world and daring to adventure.
★ Seventeen female creators collaborated to write about traveling with children, menstruation, sadness and loss, menopause, and the wonder and humor of life, including journeys with disabilities or those considered outsiders. They transformed these experiences into relatable and heartwarming narratives, focusing not on perfect journeys but on the real struggles women face. Through a female perspective, their travels infuse courage and healing into the anxieties of today.
★ Praised by a niche Scottish travel media outlet as "timeless and readable, with solid writing," the work redefines the core of "adventure"—not about scenery, but about the courage to move forward in adversity.
★ Those travel stories often passed down among women are finally captured in words. With resilience as their vessel, they sail towards undefined horizons.

There She Goes brings together seventeen women writers – of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry – in an anthology of travel tales to inspire, encourage and empower women adventuring through the world in different ways and stages of life.

There She Goes celebrates the stories of women getting on with getting from one place to another – the grit, courage and determination of moving through the world with babies, with periods, with grief and loss, with the menopause, with magic and humour, with bodies that are ill or disabled or seen as foreign and Other. These are stories so often shared between women verbally but – despite the drama, excitement and humour they contain – are rarely printed.

This is a book offering a new perspective on what it means to be adventurous. In times where fear and worry seem so prevalent, it is a gift of courage and celebration.
