HELLO!

​

I'm Lise Wortley, and I'm on a journey bringing to life the incredible stories of history's forgotten women adventurers, by literally walking in their footsteps, re-creating their expeditions using only what was available to them at the time. Throughout history, women in the world of adventure have been overshadowed by their male counterparts and their stories often missed from history. Woman with Altitude highlights these ground-breaking women's stories and achievements, while challenging traditional narratives of adventurers being fearless and male, and supporting women who work in the outdoor space today. ​

​

Woman with Altitude is a community project dedicated to empowering people through the stories of pioneering women adventurers, as well as aiming to:

• Inspire women and girls across the world who don't see themselves represented in certain spaces, especially the outdoors.

• Support women who work in the adventure space, from mountain guides to film makers.

• Explore the challenges women face through clothing, throughout history and today.

• Shine a light on inspiring women who have been overlooked or written out of history.

• Highlight the increasing levels of anxiety in young women and girls in the UK, and how nature can help us heal.
