DESCRIPTION

Intrepid Women Climbers and the Peaks Named in Their Honour

A celebration of pioneering women climbers


Moving Mountains celebrates nine extraordinary women who reached the pinnacles of exploration and are immortalised in mountains named for them. Defying altitude, expectations and convention, they reached some of the highest places on Earth, achieving an honour long reserved for men and monarchs. Though their names endure on soaring summits, their remarkable stories have largely gone untold … until now.

As we witness their courage amid avalanches, blizzards and breath-stealing heights, their stories unfold against sweeping landscapes of ice, rock and snow. Their lives are testimony to the uphill struggle for recognition in a world that challenged their right to climb at all. Here they reveal the mountains they moved – both literal and symbolic – to realise their dreams.

These are the women you are about to meet:

- Sacajawea

- Meta Brevoort

- Isabella Charlet-Straton

- Annie Smith Peck

- Elizabeth Le Blond

- Gertrude Benham

- Gertrude Bell

- Junko Tabei

- Samina Baig
