Feminist Pilgrimage: Journeys of Discovery

Feminist Pilgrimage: Journeys of Discovery is a collection of personal essays by contemporary feminist educators, scholars, artists, and writers. The contributors imagine the concept of "pilgrimage" in their lives through a rich and diverse exploration, including a woman's journey to visit her childhood home in Allahabad; a pilgrimage to explore sites related to the psychology of women in Paris; a Black Feminist's academic journey as a healing experience; living a new life on a Pagan commune in New Mexico; the transformative experience of walking the Camino de Santiago from Portugal to Spain; traveling to view the original works of photographer Anne Brigman; the story of nine women creating and sustaining a retreat for writing and support; and many more. Royalties from the purchase of this book will be donated to the Women's Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles, California.
