Active Woman Vacation Guide: A BPP Travel Resource Guide

Because more women than men now go on adventure vacations, Evelyn Kaye put together a unique guide to adventure outfits that cater to women who want to hike, bike, climb, walk, ride, snorkel, raft, canoe, and sail their way around the world. And should inspiration be desired, Kaye also includes true tales of trips already taken, from Fanny Bullock Workman's 1895 "Bicycle Riding in Algeria" and Ida Pfeiffer's 1848 "Tiger Hunt in India" to Effie Fletcher's "Preparing for the Himalayas" of 1996. There are 33 stories, past and present, plus 54 organizations offering 1,001 adventure trips for women of all ages, backgrounds, and states of fitness.
