Since the Pikes Peak gold rush in the mid–nineteenth century, women have gone into the mountains of Colorado to hike, climb, ski, homestead, botanize, act as guides, practice medicine, and meet a variety of other challenges, whether for sport or for livelihood. Janet Robertson recounts their exploits in a lively, well-illustrated book that measures up to its title, The Magnificent Mountain Women. Arlene Blum provides a new introduction to this edition.

Betsy Cowles Partridge (1902-1974) was one of the first women and first Americans to mountaineer throughout the world, climbing extensively during the 1930s and 1940s in the US and Canada, the Swiss Alps, and ultimately, the Khumbu region of Nepal. This biography incorporates her journal entries and letters, as well as her fine photographic work, providing a picture of a lively, thoughtful, and rather remarkable woman.
