Beginning in 1946, Elizabeth Hawley worked for Fortune magazine as
a researcher. Shortly thereafter, she left both her job and the
United States itself to travel the world, and thus began her
lifelong attraction to the exotic and remote sovereign state of
Nepal. In the years that followed, she began reporting on the
political and cultural events taking place in her adopted homeland
for the likes of Reuters and Time Inc., letting the world in on the
strange community of mountaineers, pilgrims and politicians who
were descending on Kathmandu, whether in search of adventure,
enlightenment or prestige. Despite the fact that Elizabeth Hawley
has never climbed a mountain or visited the hallowed grounds of
Everest base camp, she has become the most important record keeper
and inspirational authority figure regarding the expeditions,
stories, feats, scandals and disasters in the Nepal Himalaya. Now
90 years of age, she has commanded the respect of such legendary
personalities as Edmund Hillary, Reinhold Messner, Chris Bonington,
Toma Humar and Ed Viesturs. With production under way on a film
examining her life and legacy, it is likely that Hawley will
continue to hold a special place in the hearts and minds of all
visitors looking to experience the legend and grandeur of the
world's most celebrated mountain landscape.
