More about the book

Barbara Washburn broke societal norms in 1947 by becoming the first woman to summit Mt. McKinley in Alaska. Rather than conforming to traditional roles, she joined her husband, renowned explorer Bradford Washburn, on various expeditions to iconic locations like the Grand Canyon and Mt. Everest, all while managing the challenges of raising three children in Boston. Her journey highlights the intersection of adventure, family life, and female empowerment in a male-dominated field.
