Mountaineering Women

Mountaineering Women is a hardback illustrated book that looks at the stories and achievements of twenty of the most daring women mountaineers from around the world. It covers a wide range of experiences in the sport, from dramatic first ascents to women who helped reshape cultural values, as well as tragic accidents at great heights. Rarely seen photographs sit alongside specially commissioned drawings and maps, giving the book real depth beyond a standard profile collection.

For readers who spend time in the mountains—or simply follow the history of climbing—this is the kind of book that adds context to the sport. Mountaineering Women celebrates inspiring female figures without flattening their stories, and the visual presentation makes it as strong on the coffee table as it is in your hands after a long day outside.
