Denise Evans was the first (and thus far only!) female president of the Alpine Club back in 1986. Her mother Nea Morin was one of the founding members of The Pinnacle Club, so it's hardly surprising she had mountains and an indomitable spirit in her blood! Her autobiography is a window into a life filled with mountaineering and sailing adventures, told with her characteristic sharp wit.
From the publisher:
Reaching Beyond is the autobiography of Denise Evans, written in her distinctive voice and showing the characteristics that enabled her to climb hard and sail hard.
Her story is one of resilience, adventure and an unwavering spirit. From her early years in Paris, France to her later life filled with climbing, sailing, and overcoming personal challenges, she exemplifies a life lived fully and fearlessly, continuing her adventures into her mid-eighties. Her narrative is deeply inspiring.

Telling women's stories
You can't be what you can't see. We hope that reading about women's adventures will inspire more women to explore the edges of their comfort zones. You don't need a beard to climb a mountain or cross an ice cap!

Supporting female authors
The 'adventure' bookshelf is often dominated by books about and by male climbers and explorers. We aim to raise the profile of books written from a broader range of perspectives, especially female authors.

Female specific advice
There is much less research and training advice tailored to female specific physiology, but this is changing. We aim to help re-balance the gender disparity and highlight the advances in this field.
