Voices from the Hills by Steve Chilton

Voices from the Hills by Steve Chilton

Voices from the Hills by Steve Chilton is the story of the barriers encountered by the first female fell runners who fought to participate in the early days of this male-dominated sport. Despite experiencing discouragement and resistance, these women responded with personal courage and self-confidence. Thanks to them, women now compete at traditional fell races, international mountain races and endurance challenges such as the Bob Graham Round in increasing numbers. Told predominantly through interviews with pioneering female athletes who recount their lives and running careers, this is the story of a fight for equality of opportunity and reward.

‘A thorough, sensitive and valuable account of trail-blazing women in the hills’

‘A valuable and detailed record of the women who broke through the barriers.’

‘A must read for anyone with a passion for women's equality and sport.’

‘A joyous and inspirational read.’

Steve Chilton is the author of five books on fell and mountain running, all highly regarded both inside and outside the sport. He is a long-time member of the Fell Runners Association and has run in many of the classic fell races and mountain marathons. Steve is also a former Chair of the Society of Cartographers and of the ICA Commission in Neocartography.
