Solo Female Travel and the Double Standard: A Weekend Read
Share:
A Slovak woman's experience setting up a dating profile years ago captures a familiar tension: male colleagues advised her not to mention her love of solo travel and independent adventures abroad, warning that men might find her too self-confident or dominant. The anecdote serves as a springboard for a weekend reading selection curated by Vitalia Bella Keň, exploring themes of gender expectations, independence, and how women's autonomy is still quietly discouraged in everyday social settings.
