In 1970 , the first all-women’s attempt to summit one of the big mountains of the world turned into an improbable tale of survival.

Popular belief held that women were incapable of withstanding high altitudes, savage elements, and carrying heavy loads.

President Obama restored Denali's Indigenous name in 2015 , and that was its official name at the time I wrote this book.

Arlene 's grandfather fled Russian -occupied Ukraine at the turn of the twentieth century to escape military conscription and oppression of Jews .

Arlene grew up in close relationship with the word “no” Arlene ’s grandparents were overprotective and restrictive.

Arlene graduated high school as class valedictorian.

She was the only woman to climb Mount Hood in 1969 .

Arlene had been on expeditions to mountains in Mexico and Peru , but was never the leader.

She hankered for another big climb, another challenge, another progression. Mesmerized by its position as the highest polar mountain.
