In 1955, 67-year-old Emma Gatewood became the first woman to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. In the following decade, motivated by the 30 years she’d spent married to an abusive, hard-fisted man, she gained widespread fame by finishing the AT thrice, hiking the Oregon Trail and putting in more than 10,000 miles on foot.
