I draw on feminist geography, feminist and queer theory, memoir studies and mobility scholarship to read Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love (2006), Reyna Grande’s The Distance Between Us (2012), Daisy Hernández’s A Cup of Water Under My Bed (2014), and Cheryl Strayed’s Wild (2012). women embody and represent their mobility, as well as how movement shapes their relationships to global power structures and to norms of gender and sexuality. Bringing together four contemporary memoirs that foreground journeys, I explore how U.S. This paper challenges longstanding cultural associations that link men to mobility and women to stability by outlining what I term a feminist politics of mobility.
