Sisters Unite for a Compelling Discussion with author Dr. Mimi Zieman, Winner, Best Memoir of 2024—by the American Writing Awards

As a young medical student, Dr. Zieman became the medical expert—and the only woman— on a team scaling Mount Everest. In this coming-of-age story, she blends memories of the risky expedition with reflections on her Jewish background and her meditations on risk, adventure and empowerment. Mimi applied the risk-taking she learned on Everest to create a varied career in OB/GYN, moving between work in academia, nonprofits, industry, the arts, and as an entrepreneur.
