Forrester's research takes her around the world as she records anecdotes of daring, discovery and danger.

Sunday Express

Part memoir, part exploration of women's relationship with nature and part studies of other women who, like [Philippa], have chosen to work in the male-dominated fields of conservation.

Deeply personal and poignant.

How beautiful...I love the premise of the book.

Fearne Cotton, TV and radio presenter

After years of child-rearing and being wifely, Philippa Forrester emerges with a lot of pertinent questions. Wild Woman is a piercing, funny, self-deprecating answer to what it is to be wild. Locally, globally, diverse and female, it is full of a lifetime's awe – and wise. This delightfully brilliant, sometimes rightfully angry book, puts women where they should be: at the heart of conservation, knowing what it is to be wild, to tune in, mend and support the natural world and our place in it. I am cheering her, and all these wonderful women on!

Nicola Chester, author of On Gallows Down

A powerful testament to why women must have a greater say when conserving our natural world.
