Writing New Zealand’s early women climbers back into history

From the 1870s, a generation of bold women made mountaineering history around Aoraki Mount Cook.  They claimed space in the mountains, defying conventions and forging a legacy that shaped every woman who followed.  Then their stories were quietly erased.

Drawing on scattered records, oral histories and forgotten stories, Great Hearts resurrects their extraordinary achievements, blending nonfiction with reimagined fiction in a tribute to their resistance, courage and grit. 

 

‘Filled with courageous women who spring to life on the page, Great Hearts is an accessible and essential addition to outdoor literature.’ — Naomi Arnold, author of 2026 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards finalist Northbound
