This volume of the Sports She Wrote series is a riveting journey through the exploits of intrepid women mountain climbers. Six articles and three complete books detail mountaineering escapades, including a humorous commentary on mountain tourism by Juliet Wilbor Tompkins written from the perspective of the mountain. Frederica Plunket's book “Here and There Among the Alps” (1875) challenges gender norms and defies cultural limitations imposed on women. “The High Alps in Winter” (1883) was written by Mrs. Fred Burnaby, who later became famous as Aubrey “Lizzie” Le Blonde, a renowned mountaineer and one of the first female filmmakers. Fanny Bullock Workman's “In the Ice World of Himalaya” (1900) documents her daring Himalayan conquests and advocacy for women's rights. The volume candidly explores the dynamics between explorers and local laborers, acknowledging the complexities of privilege and gender in sport of mountaineering. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 400 women in the 19th century.
