Travelogue, Biographical, Solo, MemoirAbstract
The article studies two movies, Tracks (2013) & Wild (2014) through a feminist lens to understand solo female escapades into the wilderness, as an act of healing and redemption. Female travelogues are much celebrated for the nuances in character and conflict that it posits. Both the travelogues delve deep into the realm of personal chaos, transmuting pain into manifestations of release and relief.
