Discover the remarkable history, resilience and achievements of women in the outdoors with prize‑winning author Rachel Hewitt, whose work includes the best‑selling Map of a Nation and her recent history of women in sport, The Last Bastion . Her latest book, In Her Nature, blends memoir, history and feminist insight to reveal how women have long found joy, strength and power in outdoor adventure—and how men have tried to stop them .Rachel will be in conversation with journalist and explorer Rosemary J Brown, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Churchill Fellow . Dedicated to putting female adventurers “back on the map,” she helped organise The Heritage of Women in Exploration conference and regularly speaks at the Globetrotters Club . Her latest book, Moving Mountains, celebrates nine extraordinary women climbers commemorated in peaks that bear their names—pioneers who defied extreme altitudes, discrimination and convention to achieve distinctions long reserved for men and monarchs .
Join us at Richmond Town Hall for an inspiring conversation about women who changed the landscape of exploration, sport and adventure—and those continuing to reshape it today.
