The Women I Think About at Night: Traveling the Paths of My Heroes

A woman in her forties, feeling stuck in life, embarks on a transformative journey across Japan, Kenya, and Italy, retracing the paths of ten remarkable women from history. She visits places linked to pioneering female explorers, artists, and adventurers, such as Karen Blixen’s home in Kenya, Yayoi Kusama's psychiatric hospital in Japan, and the works of forgotten Renaissance women in Florence. Through these travels, she not only seeks to understand the women who inspired her but also confronts her own sense of purpose and possibility. This reflective narrative blends history, biography, and personal exploration, celebrating the lives of women who defied societal limits and made lasting contributions. The journey serves as both a tribute to these trailblazers and a path to personal discovery.
