"In story after story," McCarthy wrote about the previous volume of The Best Women's Travel Writing , "the refreshing absence of bluster and bravado, coupled with the optimism necessary for bold travel, create a unifying narrative that testifies to the personal value and cultural import of leaving the perceived safety of home and setting out into the wider world."
