Narrated by Karen Cass

Vindication (2006) tells the inspiring, thrilling, and often tragic tale of the life of Mary Wollstonecraft, known today as the founder of modern feminism. Drawing on significant moments in Wollstonecraft’s life, from her childhood in an abusive household to her experiences co-founding a school and living in Revolutionary France, it paints a picture of a woman who was as complex as she was brilliant. Throughout every stage of her life, Wollstonecraft was truly an original thinker, and her influence on feminist thought continues to ring out today.

The Salt Path (2018) is a tale of tragedy – and of how one couple responded to it. Within a week, the author, Raynor Winn, was served an eviction notice, and her husband, Moth, was diagnosed with a terminal illness. But, instead of succumbing to despair, Raynor and Moth embraced homelessness and decided to hike the South West Coast Path in southern England. The Salt Path is the story of their 630-mile walk toward an uncertain future.

","aboutTheAuthor":"

Raynor Winn is a long-distance walker and writer. She’s written about nature, homelessness, and wild camping. The Salt Path, a memoir of her own experiences, is her first book.
