I'll call you in Kathmandu : the Elizabeth Hawley story / Bernadette McDonald

In a post- World War II era when few women lived life on their own terms, a young Elizabeth Hawley left her job as a researcher for Fortune magazine and set out to travel the globe. Eventually settling in Kathmandu, Nepal, she built a life in the world of mountaineering. Without ever having climbed a mountain or even visited Everest base camp, Hawley became the top authority the world depends on to document, authenticate and evaluate the significance of expeditions in the Nepal Himalaya.
