challenged gender stereotypes in the academic community. With
candor and humor, Blum recounts her" "journey from an overprotected
childhood in Chicago to the tops of some of the highest peaks on
earth, and to a life lived on her own terms. "Breaking Trail" is a
testament to the power of taking risks and pursuing dreams.
