Go Girl!: The Black Woman's Book of Travel and Adventure
Go Girl!is part travelogue, part guidebook for African  American women. Author Elaine Lee first caught the travel bug from her  mother, but it wasn't until she was in her late 30s that she realized  travel could mean more than just a vacation. She began to  systematically plan her life and finances in order to make travel a  focal point, an accomplishment detailed inthe book's concluding essay.  But Lee gives the reader plenty to think about before she reveals her  own secrets--there'sMaya Angelouin  Africa,Alice  Walkerin Bali,Gwendolyn  Brooksin Russia, andJill Nelsonon Martha's  Vineyard, to name just a few of the 52 women who contribute their  travel stories to Lee's book of travel and adventure. Along with the  inspiration come snippets of practical advice and some very useful  resources listed at the end--everything from travel magazines to  cruises geared toward African American travelers.
