Annapurna: A Woman's Place
by Arlene Blum
A fantastic listen on Audible. A thorough retelling of the all-women expedition to Everest in 1978. I can't believe all they endured beyond the physical challenges - they were facing so many gender biases, both back at home and on the mountain. The male sherpas resisting the idea that women could get to the top without them, male journalists wanting to downplay women's capabilities in mountaineering. Highly recommend! Slow at the beginning, but the last 3 hours were so phenomenal, I'd listen to that section again.
