Book excerpt: In a time when a woman's sphere was decidedly limited to hearth and family, a number of courageous women were stepping out, stepping up, and making history far from the comforts of the homefire. "Women on High" will thrill readers with tales of dangerous summit attempts, blinding whiteouts, and narrow escapes; and transfix mountain historians with details of first ascents, period gear, and first-hand accounts.
