Women have long dreamed of going to Antarctica and in 1935 Caroline Mikkelsen became the first woman to step ashore on the Antarctic continent.
Just Tell Them I Survived! is the story of the women who have worked and lived in that most hostile, wild and beautiful of places, the Great White South. It is the story of the good times and the bad, the struggles with isolation and loneliness, the friendships and the fun, and the tactics women have developed to survive the physical and social challenges of this 'last frontier'.
Offering a rare glimpse into real life in Antarctica, Just Tell Them I Survived! celebrates the vitality and tenacity of an extraordinary community of people. Whatever their experiences, Antarctica has provided the women who have travelled south the most intensely lived period of their lives. Robin Burns helps us share that experience.
