    US Female Mountaineers Travel Abroad, 1890-1915

    Jenny Ernie-Steighner Thinking Gender 2009 Conference Paper January 23, 3009 Delightful Escapes: U. S. Female Mountaineers Travel Abroad, 1890-1915 I would like to start this afternoon by sharing two primary documents with you. The first is an editorial note describing a “Mrs. Workman.” The second is a letter sent to a Miss Annie S. Peck. Though many of us today know little, if anything, about either of these women, the following two documents reveal an impressive contemporaneous familiarity with both Mrs. Workman (more commonly known as Fanny Bullock Workman) and Annie S. Peck. On June 2nd, 1910 the editor of the well-circulated British newspaper The Independent described Bullock Workman thus: Mrs. Workman, who is a native of Worcester, Mass., is an Officer l’Instruction Publique of France and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, London. Major Darwin, the president of the society, said after Mrs. Workman read her paper on the Hispar Journey before it last December: ‘I believe I am right in saying that the feats accomplished by Mrs. Workman are more remarkable in the way of mountaineering than those which have been accomplished ever before by any of her sex. Whether I ought to make that limitation or not I am rather doubtful, but, at all events, with that limitation it will not be denied.1 Approximately fourteen years prior a young fourteen-year-old boy from Grand Rapids, Michigan wrote to Peck (who had recently summited the Matterhorn) with the hopes of gaining her signature. His letter read: Dear Madam, … I collect autographs.

As from Ladakh at Sin-Kiang, the caravans which were heavily loaded with precious goods had to go through the Karakoram mountain range and then through Kun Lun. The trip took one month and they left before the rivers got too high. The exhausting passes were waiting for them ; the most feared were the Saser La (means "Yellow Earth") at 5300m between the Nubra and Shylok valleys and the Karakoram pass at 5575m.

  • Women in Glaciology, a Historical Perspective. J. Glaciol., 56

    944 Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 56, No. 200, 2010 Women in glaciology, a historical perspective Christina L. HULBE,1 Weili WANG,2 Simon OMMANNEY3 1Department of Geology, Portland State University, PO Box 751, Portland, Oregon 97207-0751, USA E-mail: [email protected] 2NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Code 614.1, Greenbelt, Maryland 20771, USA 3Emeritus Associate, Scott Polar Research Institute ABSTRACT. Women’s history in glaciology extends as far back in time as the discipline itself, although their contributions to the scientific discourse have for all of that history been constrained by the socio- political contexts of the times. The first Journal of Glaciology paper authored by a woman appeared in 1948, within a year of the founding of the Journal, but it was not until the 1980s that women produced more than a few percent of Journal and Annals of Glaciology papers. Here international perspectives on women’s participation in the sciences are presented in order to establish an economic and socio- political context for stories of women ‘pioneers’ in glaciology and a frame in which to discuss women’s persistent under-representation relative to men. We find that the experiences of individual glaciologists mirror women’s experiences in higher education and the sciences as a whole. The existence of both positive and negative trends in women’s participation in the sciences suggests caution in the interpretation of recent positive trends for women’s participation in glaciology. 1. HISTORICAL CONTEXT women’s participation both waxes and wanes due to 1.1. Histories of women in science identifiable economic and social forcings.
