<p>Review\nWhile this anthology's theme may sound niche, its appeal and scope is universal. Indeed, it's underpinned by fundamental age-old questions: "What does compel someone to leave their country of origin, which is the story before their departure? Et al. The answers to such questions are voiced here by twenty women whose stories are vary vastly, with contributors hailing from places as diverse as Lebanon, Scotland, France, Germany, the USA, Mozambique, Spain, Brazil and more countries besides. Together their stories constitute a fascinating chorus of experiences borne from the author's enrollment in an organisation created to help newcomers "feel at home in this beautiful country," her desire to chronicle female oral history, and a belief in the human need for agency.<br />

LOVEREADING AMBASSADOR\nIf you want some ideas about how you could live your life differently, there are plenty here. Warning - these women will make you wonder what you have been doing with your life! A wonderful book which I am sure I will return to again and again. Highly recommended - makes you start dreaming though! LoveReading Reviewer's Panel\nA really enjoyable book of 20 women now living in Portugal who grew up living in other areas. Some moved following husbands or partners as they progressed in their chosen jobs and some because of their own careers. There is a lot of reflection and I found this book to be an inspiration. I loved how the author included her own story. Beautiful and so well written. Jane Brown, LoveReading Reviewer's Panel.\nWhat compels someone to leave their country of origin, which is the story before their departure? What happens to them on their journey to the new place, which is the story of getting from one place to another? And what causes them to finally land somewhere and decide to stay, if not for the rest of their lives, then for an extended period? Women Who Walk: How 20 Women from 16 Countries Came to Live in Portugal is a collection of 20 interviews with a diverse group of expatriate women. Their personal narratives tell tales of world travel and cultural immersion as a form of higher education, a vehicle for personal growth and expanded awareness of self and others, and an instrument for greater understanding and appreciation of the differences that today too often separate us. Readers will find these shared experiences, communicated honestly and openly, sometimes with humor, sometimes through tears of loss, courageous, uplifting, poignant and inspirational, a reassuring reflection of their own life journey.</p>
