Watch as author and women’s health advocate Dr. Mimi Zieman discusses her engaging memoir, Tap Dancing on Everest, with Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein.

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.
