Women on the Rope: The Feminine Share in Mountain Adventure

by Cicely Williams

Overview

First published in 1973, Women on the Rope provides the first consecutive story of the ‘feminine share in mountain adventure’, a share which has grown from tiny beginnings in 1808 to a level at which women have won their place at Everest expeditions. Cicely Williams provides a book which combines exact and detailed knowledge of a little-known chapter of human enterprise with that zest for life and love of mountains that have brought her so many friends. This is a book for mountaineers, for social historians, and for the fireside connoisseur of good storytelling.
