Junko Tabei was the first woman to climb to the top of Mt Everest and the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on all seven continents. She will recount her life as a child growing up in Fukushima and the early years of becoming a world class mountain climber, leading to her successful ascent to the summit of Mt Everest. In 1975, it was a daunting challenge for a woman to get to the top of Everest. However, this ordinary Japanese housewife learned long ago: “You can get there if you go step by step.” You are invited to join her on this journey.
