“I am happy and proud to be the first Israeli woman to reach the summit,” she posted to her Facebook page after she ascended all 8,849 meters.

“I have a rule. On every summit I hoist an Israeli flag,” she writes. “As no woman in Israel has done it yet, only three men. It’s a dream for me, both in order to test my limits and to show that it’s possible that every woman can reach Everest,” she used to say. Thus, reaching the peak of Mt. Everest Ms. Wolfson’s dream turned into a reality.
A lover of sports, Ms. Wolfson suffered a serious ski accident with multiple broken bones in 2011 that left her bedridden for months.
