Grandma Gatewood
Emma Rowena Gatewood, better known as Grandma Gatewood (October 25, 1887–June 4, 1973), was an extreme hiker and ultra-light hiking pioneer who was the first woman to hike the Appalachian Trail from Mount Oglethorpe in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine solo, and in one season.
== Family life ==
Gatewood was born in Guyan Township, Gallia County, Ohio. She was a farmer's wife who had 11 children and 24 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild living at the time of her death at 85.〔
Gatewood's husband physically beat her on a regular basis starting from the first weeks of their marriage.〔
〕 She recalled being beaten nearly to death on several occasions. She suffered broken ribs, broken teeth, and other injuries during her unhappy marriage. When things became bad, she would run from the house into the woods where she found peace and solitude. She eventually successfully divorced him; at the time divorce was more difficult and her husband continually threatened to have her committed to an insane asylum as a means of maintaining control over her.〔
