Meta Brevoort

Meta Brevoort was a pioneering American mountaineer in the late 19th century, known for her significant contributions to climbing in the European Alps. Despite the societal constraints of her time, she became one of the first women to achieve notable ascents, often publishing her accomplishments under a male pseudonym to avoid prejudice. Her legacy is a testament to the challenges faced by women in mountaineering and the often-overlooked history of their achievements.
