|author=Bee Rowlatt
|title=In Search of Mary: The Mother of all Journeys
|rating=3.5
|genre=Autobiography
|summary=As a university student at Glasgow, Bee Rowlatt first encountered the proto-feminist Mary Wollstonecraft through her epistolary travel narrative, ''Letters from Norway''. This book is her homage to Wollstonecraft as well as an attempt to pinpoint why this particular work has meant so much to her over the years and helped her form her own ideas about feminism and motherhood. From Norway to Paris and then San Francisco, Rowlatt follows in Wollstonecraft's footsteps and asks everyone she meets how modern feminism and motherhood can coincide. By using a Dictaphone, she is able to recreate her dialogues exactly, making for lively, conversational prose.

|summary=Serendipity often brings you to the important books. Recently I heard myself say to a friend: ''I'm far too busy to do some of the important stuff''. It pulled me up short: there was definitely something wrong here - and then I had the opportunity to listen to an audio download of ''Busy'' and I knew that it was something I ''had'' to do and take notice of if I was to stop going ''backwards''. Because that was what I was doing.
