Sunday's Google Doodle celebrated the feats of Junko Tabei,sex porn video the first woman to reach the ceiling of the earth by scaling Mount Everest, on what would have been the legendary climber's 80th birthday.
Born Sept. 22, 1939, in Miharu, Japan, Tabei and led a team of Japanese women to the top of Mount Everest in May 1975. Her Everest adventure broke ground not just as the first woman to summit the mountain but for the cultural statement it made in her home country.
In a 2012 interview with the Japan Times, Tabei said, “Back in 1970s Japan, it was still widely considered that men were the ones to work outside and women would stay at home... Even women who had jobs — they were asked just to serve tea. So it was unthinkable for them to be promoted in their workplaces.”
Nevertheless, she persisted, telling the Times, “There was never a question in my mind that I wanted to climb that mountain, no matter what other people said."
Everest was hardly Tabei's only conquest. In 1992, she also became the first woman to climb the "Seven Summits," the highest peaks on all seven continents, including Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mount Denali (then Mount McKinley) in Alaska.
Later in her life, Tabei's focus came to include preservation, studying the effects climbers (and their waste) were having on the summits she loved to climb.
But Tabei kept climbing until the end. Speaking to Outsidemagazine just a few months before her death from cancer in Oct. 2016, she explained why she continued to summit the highest peaks in dozens of countries.
You continued to push yourself after Everest. You’ve climbed the Seven Summits, and many others since. What motivates you to keep climbing?It is because I love mountains. I love to go wherever I’ve never been before. So I am challenging myself to climb all the highest peaks of all countries of the world. I am now 76, and have scaled the highest peaks of 76 countries. I am suffering cancer but I would like to keep going my way and climb mountains.
Not just a great climber, but an amazing human, Tabei is certainly a person worth celebrating, in a Google Doodle and beyond.
