Women's Voices in Experiential Education

This book is a collection of feminist analyses of various topics in experiential education, particularly as it applies to outdoors and adventure education, as well as practical examples of how women's experiences can contribute to the field as a whole.

(Mary McClintock); "Inside Work, Outdoors: Women, Metaphor, and Meaning" (Heidi Mack); "The Eustress Paradigm: A Strategy for Decreasing Stress in Wilderness Education Programs."
