This was in yesterday's news and it's quite an uplifting story.
It's interesting how these Bolivian women have chosen to exert their agency, find a voice etc, in a very modern way (professional mountain climbing) but have retained the unique markers of their specific Aymara identity in the shape of their orange shawls and their wide skirts.
Just in case any of you might be interested.
