Breaking the Ice Ceiling
summary
Marion Poitevin recounts her career and how she overcame challenges by training, failing, and surrounding herself with the right people to open new professional paths for women. She describes her mountaineering expeditions (Himalaya, Arctic, Antarctica), ski and climbing achievements, earning mountain-sport qualifications, and her current work as a CRS mountain rescuer in Savoie while balancing motherhood, which shifted her view of mountains from performance to life and led her toward feminism and environmentalism.
