The Word for Woman is Wilderness
By: Abi Andrews
Synopsis
Erin, a 19-year-old girl from middle England, is travelling to Alaska on a journey that takes her through Iceland, Greenland, and across Canada. She is making a documentary about how men are allowed to express this kind of individualism and personal freedom more than women are, based on masculinist ideas of survivalism and the shunning of society: the "Mountain Man." She plans to culminate her journey with an experiment: living in a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness, a la Thoreau, to explore it from a feminist perspective.

Contributor's Note
A good life is: going on a very very very long walk
Dissatisfied with the masculine archetype of the rugged explorer, Erin sets out on her own trek through the Alaskan wilderness. Her journey is a meandering meditation on our relationship with the environment, by way of philosophy, documentary, and wonder.
