All the Powerful Invisible Things: A Sportswoman’s Notebook
Gretchen Legler
All the Powerful Invisible Things is an eloquent memoir of self-discovery and a chronicle of outdoor life. Legler writes about the complexities of being a woman who fishes and hunts, as well as about the more intimate terrain of family and sexuality. Like many women, Legler finds that her presence identifies the unmarked boundaries of where she is and is not welcome, learning when it is advantageous to pass as male and when it is better to disappear into the woods and trees around her.
