Fanny Bullock Workman & Annie S. Peck: Pioneering Women Climbers

Fanny Bullock Workman and Annie S. Peck were two prominent women climbers who were active during the same time period. Fanny, along with her husband, explored the Himalayas between 1890 and 1915 and wrote several books about their adventures. Annie, a New England professor, began her climbing career at the age of 45 and achieved notable ascents, including Huascaran in Peru. Both women defied traditional gender roles and made significant contributions to mountaineering during their time.
