Where Are Your Men? Rafting Western Rivers With The Ladies
What do a bunch of well-seasoned river gals do on river trips without their men? Everything you might imagine, and more. These stories invite you to relive experiences of women who have been running rivers for decades and find themselves back out on whitewater year after year. You'll find tales of difficult rescues and the kind of unexpected adventures western river runners love to share. Through a variety of stories, haikus, poems, and essays, this anthology goes deeper. The personal accounts explore the beauty of both the rivers and trusted friendships forged over the years. Sharing life's celebrations and tragedies, these women navigate the waters of their lives.

I love this collection! It's high time something like this was put together. So many women-centric stories end up being all about the men who aren't with them on the river or in the wild, which never made a lot of sense to me. This book instead speaks to the relationships these women have with each other and with the landscapes they travel in, which is far more gratifying, interesting, and inspiring.
This collection reads easily and well and should make a great companion on any adventure in the wild-whether your men are along or not!

Where Are Your Men is a nice compilation on a subject that demands more attention. Reading it gives you the joyful sense of being on the river with the 'gals."
