Breaking Trail

A Climbing Life

Arlene Blum

"Breaking Trail" tells the story of Arlene Blum, a legendary trailblazer who broke gender stereotypes in climbing and science. Blum led the first all-female teams to successful ascents of Mount McKinley and Annapurna, as well as being the first American woman to attempt Mount Everest. Her scientific work also led to important legislation banning carcinogens in children’s sleepwear. With candor and humor, Blum recounts her journey from an overprotected childhood in Chicago to the tops of some of the highest peaks on earth, and to a life lived on her own terms. This book is a moving testament to the power of taking risks and pursuing dreams.

Just finished Arlene Blum's excellent memoir of alpinism Breaking Trail. Can anyone recommend great non-fiction adventure books? I loved the mix of adventure, personal story, and feminism in Blum's incredible book. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐      источник
