Sisters of the Earth: Women's Prose and Poetry About Nature

Easily a top contender for best book read in 2017. This anthology truly opened up a new world of writing to me. I absolutely loved this book, which is a collection of nature writing by American women, mostly from the 20th century. It includes many unique pieces of writing from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, all with the overarching theme of the intersection of feminism and ecology - or, women seeking and finding communion with the natural world. In a moment of serendipity, I chose to read this collection while I was on a solo vacation in the Southwest, which made the experience even more special. There I was, a woman alone in nature, looking for the same exhilaration and peace that these women were seeking, finding, and writing about. This made for a truly enjoyable read.

Most of the selections are short, so it was great for short spurts of reading as well as long marathons. I also found several new (to me) writers whose work I plan to explore in the future. I enjoyed this book by the fireside, under the shadow of mountains, at the shores of sapphire lake set in sandstone cliffs...I'd recommend to this anyone who wants a comprehensive look at obscure 20th century American women writers. I would like to note I read the first edition of this anthology, published in the early 90s. It was recently updated with 50+ new selections, so I'm not sure how the scope/context has changed in that time.
