Men like to conquer, fight or subdue the Arctic, while we had a different attitude. We felt that we had to go along with what we were faced with.... We tried to have the Arctic on our side instead of confronting it. Women wanted to walk to North Pole, the advert read. Sue & Victoria Riches, mother and daughter, never imagined how much one small article in a newspaper would change their lives... Within two years, they were trekking across the frozen wilderness that is the Arctic Ocean, as part of the first all women's expedition to the North Pole. At times totally terrifying and at times indescribably beautiful, it was a trip of a lifetime. Having survived cancer treatment and a mastectomy it was an opportunity to discover that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Paperback. Etat : New. 'A fantastic celebration of adventure, courage, friendship and love' - Dawn French In 1997, a group of twenty women set out to become the world's first all-female expedition to the North Pole. Sue and Victoria Riches were surprised to find themselves among them. Travelling to the most isolated and forbidding regions of the globe and facing the bitterest hardships, both were seeking a new beginning. For Sue, these were the first steps following treatment for breast cancer. For her daughter Victoria, abandoning the security of her career was the sole way to test her self-belief. This is Sue and Victoria's personal account of their trials and survival in the Arctic. Honest, shocking, but never too serious, Frigid Women is a celebration of the positive, 'anything is possible' attitude that can transform life's tribulations into its most rewarding experiences.
