Overview

An autobiographical collection of women writing about living abroad. This book is a celebration of the mix of cultural experience of modern Welsh women. These writings are not of holidays but of significant experiences of life abroad as workers, wives, children or travellers. They are mostly contemporary pieces, but memoirs of pre-war India and Russia in 1930 are included.
