Janna Lambine & Junko Tabei
Manage episode 389119031 series 3324203
WARNING: we both cried in the episode. Maybe don’t listen to this episode if you need to look presentable right afterwards 😭😂
On March 4, 1977, Janna achieved historic milestones, becoming CG Aviator #1812 and the first female helicopter pilot in Coast Guard history. Janna Lambine's legacy lives on as a pioneer, breaking gender barriers in Coast Guard aviation and leaving her mark on the world of fitness.
Despite being considered frail in her early years, Junko discovered her love for mountain climbing at the age of 10. Facing resistance and skepticism from THE PATRIARCHY (*insert not-surprised gasp), Junko nonetheless persevered in founding a women’s-only climbing club, with sights set on their biggest obstacle yet: Mount Everest.
