Reflections of an educator on the impact of the outdoors on body positivity

As I embark on a journey to demonstrate that outdoor education programmes can shape a girls' sense of self and body positivity, I embrace the lineage of outdoorswomen working to redefine the societal construct of femininity. My mind ticks over as I begin to see the potential and the possibilities for young women learning to define themselves from within, rather from the way society tells them to. It really is a body scrimmage, isn't it? That inner tussle about how we look, how we feel, how we define ourselves, and how others define us.
