This is a book about working together under extraordinary conditions where the temperature in your tent can drop to ten degrees below zero and a tiny hole in a glove can mean the possible loss of a finger. It is about making decisions while an avalanche rushes by you with a wind that knocks you over. It is about risking death knowing that you have a daughter, a partner at home...The compelling story of thirteen very different women...each determined to get women to the top of a mountain. -- Erica Bauermeister, reviewed in 500 Great Books by Women
