Emmeline Freda Du Faur (1882 - 1935) was an Australian mountaineer, credited as the first woman to climb New Zealand's tallest mountain, After her climb to the summit of Mount Cook in 1910, she is quoted as stating: "I was the first unmarried woman to climb in New Zealand, and in consequence I received all the hard knocks until one day when I awoke more or less famous in the mountaineering world, after which I could and did do exactly as seemed to me best".[1] Following her notoriety, she would dispense with a chaperone but retain her, now customary, climbing attire of a skirt to just below the knee over knickerbockers and long puttees. It pleased her that her attire afforded an element of femininity to upset critics and challenge existing stereotypes of physically active women.].
