Henriette d'Angeville

Henriette d'Angeville

Henriette d'Angeville (10 March 1794 in Semur-en-Auxois – 13 January 1871 in Lausanne) was the second woman to climb Mont Blanc, and the first to do so unaided (meaning that, although male guides showed her the way up the mountain and carried her supplies, they did not carry her. The first woman to summit the mountain had had to be carried by the guides over certain rough spots.)
