Divided into such sections as &#147;Places Where Women Made History,” &#147;Places of Indulgence,” and &#147;Places of Adventure,” this guidebook includes timely contact information, resources, and recommended reading. &#147;Ten Tips For Wandering Women” features safety precautions plus pointers on haggling, packing, and staying parasite-free. Vivid portraits of free spirits like Frida Kahlo (&#147;A tequila-slamming, dirty joke-telling smoker, this famous artist was bisexual and beautiful”) help travelers expand their experience.
