11. Avoiding the feminist trap & prioritising your well - being

“What do we need to be careful of” was the question I asked the final three members of the expedition. It was a very interesting question to ask Laura Fleming, Aparna Uppaluri and Katrina Webb who almost didn’t join. Laura because she has avoided women only groups all her life. Aparna because she avoids “monolithic definitions of what it is to be a woman”. And Katrina because earlier this year she had “run herself into the ground and didn’t have spare energy for anything.” I am glad they have joined because they will be watching with eagle eyes to make sure we avoid the booby traps.
