Biography
Mabel E. Workman pursued a lifelong passion for mountains and exploration, charting trails and summiting peaks at a time when few women dared to follow the call of the range. Her courage in the face of rugged terrain inspired fellow adventurers to test their own limits.
She believed exploration fostered strength of character and a deeper appreciation for the natural world, and she shared that belief through mentorship and public talks that encouraged women to join the ranks of explorers. Workman's spirited legacy endures among those who chase horizon and challenge.
