Biography

Meta Brevoort (1825-1876) entered the male-dominated world of alpinism with resolve, scaling peaks that few women of her era dared to attempt and sharing the wonder of the mountains with fellow climbers.

She inspired others by proving that determination could move boundaries, and she rests at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery while her daring stories continue to encourage adventurous spirits.
