Den Wind in den Haaren
Auf den Spuren freiheitsliebender Frauen
In diesem inspirierenden Buch stellt Annabel Abbs Künstlerinnen vor, die ein tiefes Bedürfnis nach Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit hatten. Und sie geht der Frage nach, warum das Unterwegssein in der Natur gerade für Frauen so beglückend ist. Sie eroberten sich eine Freiheit, die bislang Männer vorbehalten war. Sie besaßen den Mut, einsame Landschaften zu durchwandern. Sie gingen allein zu Fuß, um ihre Unabhängigkeit zu behaupten. Simone de Beauvoir war als junge Frau stundenlang auf den einsamen Küstenwegen bei Marseille unterwegs. Die Malerin Georgia O’Keeffe durchschritt mit ihrem Skizzenbuch die schier endlose Ebene bei Amarillo. Die schottische Schriftstellerin Nan Shepherd lief barfuß und oft bei Nacht durch die Cairngorm Mountains und nahm die Schönheit der Natur mit allen Sinnen auf.
