"A Mile in Her Boots" is an unprecedented collection of true stories by women who do a variety of outdoor jobs, from smoke jumping to biology, river running to professional falconry, horse packing to atmospheric science, and more. Some of the contributors are well-established authors, others are first timers, but all share compelling tales of their on-the-job adventures. As you wind your way through the book, you'll get to know this group of wild women, each of whom extends her hand and welcomes you to explore the rough-hewn details of her trade.
