    In this narrative, Arlene Blum recounts her life as legendary trailblazer in the worlds of women's climbing and biophysical research.

    • Author: Arlene Blum
    • Softcover; 383 pages, black-and-white photographs and illustrations
    • Harcourt; copyright 2005 (afterword copyright 2007)

    Arlene Blum defied the climbing establishment of the 1970s by leading the first all-female teams on successful ascents of Mt. McKinley and Annapurna, and was the first American woman to attempt Mt. Everest. At the same time, her groundbreaking scientific work challenged gender stereotypes in the academic community. With candor and humor, Blum recounts her journey from an overprotected childhood to the tops of some of the highest peaks on Earth, and to a life lived on her own terms.

    Made in USA.
