SPEAKER_00: At Toyota electrified doesn't just mean plugified. So you can go off road in a hybrid Tundra and take the scenic, Rutified. Or step inside a plug-in Prius and get glamified. Or hop in an all electric BZ4X and take it Easyified. Toyota is electrified, diversified. And the more ways we can choose to reduce carbon emissions, the closer we all get to Toyota's beyond zero vision. Toyota, let's go places.
SPEAKER_03: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica. This month we're talking about adventurers. Women who refuse to be confined. They push the boundaries of where a woman could go and how she could get there. In her long wool skirts and prim buttoned collars, today's Womanican may not have looked the part of an adventurer, but she became one of the first women professional mountaineers. Let's talk about Fanny Bullock Workman. Fanny Bullock was born in 1859 into privilege. Her parents were wealthy New Englanders and she was educated as a girl of her status often was. First with a governess and later at Miss Graham's finishing school in New York. The finishing school served its purpose. Fanny married William Hunter Workman when she was 22 years old. William was also wealthy and a doctor. Armed with two inheritances, the pair began spending their free time doing something a bit unusual. Mountain climbing. They often trekked through New Hampshire where Fanny summited the treacherous Mount Washington several times. American hiking clubs had started encouraging women to climb and explore, unlike their peers in Europe, who usually kept the activity men only. Fanny and William had two children, Rachel, born in 1884, and Siegfried, born in 1889. The year Siegfried was born, William retired from medicine and the family moved to Germany. There, Fanny and William took on a new activity, bicycling. Like hiking, bicycling was newly welcoming to women. The bike's shape had changed from the giant front wheel of the Penny-Farthing model to the design we're familiar with today, two equal tires and a diamond-shaped body. Women could ride these bikes easily, even with their long skirts. Over the next few years, Fanny and William biked through Europe. They kept climbing mountains, too. Fanny became one of the first women to summit several peaks in the Alps, including the Matterhorn in Mont Blanc. In 1893, tragedy struck. Fanny and William's son, Siegfried, died from a respiratory illness. He was just a few years old. But Siegfried's death didn't dampen Fanny's adventurous spirit. If anything, she was inspired to go farther, to see more, to push herself physically and mentally. But that also meant leaving her surviving child, Rachel, behind. Rachel was raised by nannies and nurses and governesses, and later sent to boarding school. When Rachel married in 1911, Fanny wasn't there. She was in the Himalayas, climbing mountains. In 1893, Fanny and William packed up their bikes and set out for Spain and Algeria. They visited mosques in Tlemcen, were chased by wild dogs in Algiers, and hopped from oasis to oasis across the Sahara Desert. At least, that's what they wrote in Algerian Memories, the first of many books about their travels. In 1897, Fanny and William set out on their bikes again, this time for a two-and-a-half-year tour through India and Java. They packed lightly, bringing the bare minimum. But Fanny made sure to carry a whip and a revolver to defend herself from whatever was coming her way. The trip was rough. Fanny was in her late 30s, while William reached 50 while they were on the road. They ran out of food and water, battled rats and mosquitoes and punctured tires, and they logged more than 14,000 miles. They kept writing about their travels, too. Fanny often included photos she took with her camera and wrote about women's lives and their rights as she observed them. To escape the summer heat, Fanny and William ventured into the mountains. There, they discovered their next big adventure, climbing in the Himalayas. They would return to the Himalayas time and time again. As a climber, Fanny was slow and deliberate. But it turns out her pace was her secret weapon. It allowed her to comfortably acclimate to changes in air pressure and oxygen levels. So Fanny, wearing wool skirts and blouses and lace-up boots with nails drilled onto the soles for traction, trekked thousands of feet into the air, setting several altitude records for women. In 1906, she and William became some of the first people to summit more than 22,000 feet up to Pinnacle Peak. Fanny was 47 years old. After 1912, Fanny and William slowed down, in large part because of the beginnings of World War I. They traveled instead as lecturers. Eventually, Fanny became one of the first women to be elected into the Royal Geographical Society, as well as a number of European adventuring services. And she was one of the first women to be elected into the Royal Geographical Society. Fanny died in 1925 in Cannes, France. She left money to four predominantly women's colleges, Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, and Bryn Mawr. Today, her scholarships still exist, helping women travel around the world just like she did.
