520    "Fanny Bullock Workman was a complicated and restless 
       woman who defied the rigid Victorian morals she found as 
       restrictive as a corset. With her frizzy brown hair tucked
       under a topee, Workman was a force on the mountain and 
       off. Instrumental in breaking the British stranglehold on 
       Himalayan mountain climbing, this American woman climbed 
       more peaks than any of her peers, became the first woman 
       to map the far reaches of the Himalayas, the first woman 
       to lecture at the Sorbonne and the second to address the 
       Royal Geographic Society of London, whose members included
       Charles Darwin, Richard Francis Burton, and David 
       Livingstone. Her books, replete with photographs, 
       illustrations and descriptions of meteorological 
       conditions, glaciology and the effect of high altitudes on
       humans, remained useful decades after their publication. 
       Paving the way for a legion of female climbers, her legacy
       lives on in scholarship prizes at Wellesley, Smith, 
       Radcliffe, and Bryn Mawr. Author and journalist Cathryn J.
       Prince brings Fanny Bullock Workman to life and deftly 
       shows how she negotiated the male-dominated world of 
       alpine clubs and adventure societies as nimbly as she 
       negotiated the deep crevasses and icy granite walls of the
       Himalayas. It's the story of the role one woman played in 
       science and exploration, in breaking boundaries and 
       frontiers for women everywhere"--|cProvided by publisher.
