Danica Klewchuk's debut memoir in essays presents a frank view of what it's like to be a woman and have a body.
Standing in the Footprints of Beasts is part trauma and recovery memoir, part travel diary of a writer coming into her own power. Standing in the Footprints of Beasts is a striking, empathetic work that marks Klewchuk as an impressive new voice in creative non-fiction from the Prairies.
"This raw and unabashed memoir is the story of the ways a woman's body is not her own, on the streets and in workplaces in Alberta, in Southeast Asia, in Eastern Europe, and of Danica Klewchuk's leaving and returning, leaving and returning, until she no longer needs to. You will be rooting for her all the way." —Astrid Blodgett, author of You Haven’t Changed a Bit
