Caroline Paul’s youthful adventures began as one of the first women to join the San Francisco Fire Department back in 1989, a story she recounts in her bestselling memoir, “Fighting Fire.” In her latest book, “Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking — How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age,” Paul demonstrates how a lifelong relationship with outdoor adventure enriches the lives of women well into their older years.
