In 1975，Junko Tabei became the first woman to reach the top of Mount Everest in the Himalaya Mountains，the highest mountain in the world at 29，035 feet．
Junko was born in 1939 and grew up in a small town in Japan．During her childhood，she was thin and weak．At age 10，Junko went on a school trip．The students climbed two mountains，and Junko loved it．She could climb in her own time and ability．
After Junko graduated from university in 1962，she joined several climbing clubs．But they had mostly men members．Some refused to climb with a woman．In 1965，Junko married a well-known Japanese climber．Over the years，they climbed all the highest mountains of Japan．
Meanwhile Junko started a woman's climbing club．By 1972，she was chosen to lead a team of women to climb Mount Everest．It took three years for the 15women to train and raise money for their climb．
Finally in 1975，the team went to climb the mountain．They found nine guides to help them climb up the mountain．Everything went well until the morning of May 4．Suddenly a huge amount of snow and ice fell on them．One guide saved Junko．She rushed to help others．Everyone was alive but they had injuries，including Junko．However，the team decided to continue their climb．About two weeks later，on May 16，Junko reached the top of Mount Everest．Later she said，"I can't understand why men make all this fuss（過(guò)于關(guān)注） about Everest-it's only a mountain．"
