Kerri Andrews is a British literary scholar and reader in women's literature and textual editing at Edge Hill University.
Her book Wanderings: A history of women walking was published in 2020 (Reaktion Books, ISBN 978-1-78914-501-4) and discusses ten women writers who walked, and wrote about their walking, from the 18th to the 21st centuries. She edited the anthology Way Makers: An Anthology of Women's Writing about Walking, published in 2023, and the earlier Nan Shepherd's Correspondence, 1920-80 (Edinburgh UP).
The subjects of Wanderers are: Elizabeth Carter, Dorothy Wordsworth, Ellen Weeton, Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, Harriet Martineau, Virginia Woolf, Nan Shepherd, Anaïs Nin, Cheryl Strayed and Linda Cracknell (the chapters are in this, chronological, sequence). She chose writers who "actively reflected on their pedestrianism, or who found in their walking something that contributed to their understanding of themselves as authors and as people".
As of October 2023 she was working on a book about walking and motherhood, and is also editing the correspondence of Isobel Wylie Hutchison (1889-1982), a Scottish Arctic traveller.
