Synopsis
"America may have put the first man on the moon, but it was the Soviet
space program that made Valentina Tereshkova the first woman in space.
Meanwhile, in the United States, NASA's first female astronauts were
racing toward milestones of their own. These trail-blazing women were
admitted into Group 9, NASA's first mixed-gender class. They had the
challenging task of convincing the powers that be that a woman's place
is in space. But once they'd been admitted into the training program,
they discovered that NASA had plenty to learn about how to make space
travel possible for all humans. [This book] capture[s] the great humor
and incredible drive of Mary Cleve, Valentina Tereshkova, and the
first women in space"—Provided by publisher.
