Great article for urban explorers of all stripes and walkers in general. And Solnit’s book is awesome!

“As activist Rebecca Solnit observed in her comprehensive opus Wanderlust: A History of Walking: “Women’s walking is often construed as performance rather than transport, with the implication that women walk not to see – but to be seen – not for their own experience, but for that of a male audience. Which means that they are asking for whatever attention they receive.” (Solnit, 2001, 234)”
