Women and caving: a world history
Oral|Mr Bernard Chirol
Abstract
It seems that very few women in the world have chosen to become cavers. Since the prehistoric period, this work tries to make understand that women were in fact early and courageous cavers, also lead by scientific purposes. A large survey on many countries shows that overcoming sexism during the pioneers times, women cavers deserve a good place in our common history, even if their % remains very low in many countries. Now differences are swept off in most of the cases.
