HELLO!

​

I'm adventurer Elise Wortley, and with an all-female team in tow, 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 adventurers and explorers have been overshadowed by their male counterparts. This project seeks to highlight 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. I'm currently planning my biggest adventure yet, to climb Mont Blanc in 1800s clothing...yes, including bloomers. You can read more about me here.

​

*I'M CROWDFUNDING!*

​

My crowdfunder for our Mont Blanc film is now live! This film is here to shake up the adventure and exploration space, and I need your help to make it happen! Everyone working on this film is female identifying, something very rare in the adventure space, and our film aims to: 

• Inspire women and girls across the world who don't see themselves represented in 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.

• Explore the impact of climate change on the Mont Blanc massif.

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

​

There is lots more information over on the crowdfunder page, and if you can't support us financially, then please do share this far and wide with anyone who you think may be able to help. Thank you again for being here and for all your support! Lise x
