On May 16, 1903, Annie S. Peck, a professional mountaineer from the United States, ventured the open-waters of the Atlantic in her quest for the tallest mountain of the Western Hemisphere. Nine years later, on June 5, 1912, her contemporary, Fanny Bullock Workman, made final preparations for an upcoming excursion to the Siachen Glacier of modern-day Pakistan. While following patterns of Victorian female travel, Peck and Bullock Workman displayed distinctive bodily performances of impressive athletic endurance that pushed the bounds of the emerging "New Woman" in terms of physicality and professionalism. Consequently, Peck's and Bullock Workman's lives demonstrate that female mountaineers were very much a part of a Western discourse obsessed with debates of proper gender roles and women's rights during the dawn of the twentieth century.
