Stories by Early Climbers. Edited by Davis Mazel, former editor of The Climbing Art magazine.
Anthology of writings by early women mountaineers. The excerpts range from 1850 to 1955. As you might expect, most of the 1800s stuff is in the Alps, and then we work further afield in the 1900s, with Annie Smith Peck and her ascent of Huascaran in Peru, Fanny Bullock Workman in the Karakoram, and Gwen Moffat describes her troubles as a (then and now) rare female climbing guide.
184 pages, 16 essays with introduction and selected bibliography.
