"A must read for anyone with a passion for women's equality and
sport." - *Sue Anstiss

Voices from the Hills is the story of the barriers encountered by the
first female fell runners who fought to participate in the early days of
this male-dominated sport. Despite experiencing discouragement and
resistance, these women responded with personal courage and
self-confidence. Thanks to them, women now compete at traditional fell
races, international mountain races and endurance challenges such as the
Bob Graham Round in increasing numbers. Told predominantly through
interviews with pioneering female athletes who recount their lives and
running careers, this is the story of a fight for equality of
opportunity and reward.
