- Abstract
"Valley of Giants: Stories from Women at the Heart of Yosemite Climbing" edited by Lauren Delaunay Miller is a feminist anthology that challenges the dominant narrative of Yosemite climbing as a male-dominated activity. The book features interviews, letters, memoirs, and essays from white women climbers, highlighting their contributions and experiences in Yosemite climbing from the 1930s onwards. It explores the challenges and biases faced by women climbers, while also showcasing their skills and achievements. The book offers a counter-history to the traditional narrative and provides insights into the culture of Yosemite climbing. It is recommended for climbers, mountaineers, and scholars interested in gender studies and the literature of the American West.
