The Funny Women Write from the Road series collects humorous travel essays by women writers, published by Travelers’ Tales between 2003 and 2007. The series began with Sand in My Bra and Other Misadventures, an anthology of stories about the awkward, funny, and unexpected things that happen when women travel.
Each volume follows the same format: short personal essays about travel gone sideways, from wardrobe malfunctions to language barriers to strange encounters. The series features a rotating cast of contributors, and the titles give a good sense of the tone. These are light, funny reads aimed at anyone who has ever had a trip not go according to plan.
