Description: Governments decisions usually impact most on the lives of women and people of marginalised genders - - yet their stories often go unheard. Wander Women unites tales of different journeys around the world and shines light on the boundaries and constraints - - both physical and invisible political and social - - that mould the lives of cis women trans people and gender - nonconforming individuals. In this moving and reflective book two journalists draw links between the gendering of migration and the policing of gender; between cities and borders that restrict mobility. Those sharing their stories tell us what it is like to move through the world with a 'threatening gender identity the 'wrong nationality 'transgressive politics or a 'disability'. From the streets of London to the ruins of Syria from Calais to Russia to Western Sahara this book gathers voices of all ages - - of pioneering activists and artists matriarchs and mothers politicians and humanitarians. They paint a picture of structural inequality in which gender movement and freedom have long been intertwined. A current of warmth and resilience runs through and connects these extraordinary voices. They offer tales of resistance and determination in a world that tries to deny many the right to make their own choices.
