Tales of a Female Nomad

DNF- I just couldn't get myself to finish this. I think I was hoping for more introspection and a feeling of growth.

I read this years ago and remember liking it but now, reading it for my book club, it is a struggle to get through. I'm finding Gelman arrogant and incredibly condescending, mostly to the reader but also to the people she meets along her travels. Gelman also harps on about this wonderful “sisterhood of women” that screams 70s feminism and annoys me. Gelman referring to herself a nomad also annoys me.
Once she was living in Bali, Gelman's writing changed to a more peaceful and less harping travel memoir, so I was able to finish the book :)
Still, if you're in search of a good female adventure book, try The Singular Pilgrim.
