4.0 out of 5 stars Gwen Moffat - Britain's first female mountain guide, 16 Jan 2003
By Ian H. Robertson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Gwen Moffat was Britain's first female mountain guide. Moreover, in the austere world of post-war Britain where women were expected to stay home and get married, Gwen's Bohemian attitude was very much against the norm - in fact she was 20 years ahead of her time.

Her autobiography "Space Below My Feet" was out of print for many years and it was long over-due being republished.

Like so many people later, Gwen just lived for climbing. The book is fascinating, not only for the tales of climbing and mountains, but also just how different her lifestyle was for the times. Dossing in climbing barns and sleeping under hedges was not lady-like behavour in 1947!

Highly recommended.
