Spaceflight Participants.This book is the second edition of Women Spacefarers and tells the fascinating stories of the valiant women who broke down barriers to join the space program. Beginning with the orbital flight of USSR cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 and continuing to the present day, it covers the many female players who have had a central role in the greatest adventure of our time. The book includes the biographies of, and in some cases interviews with, the brave women who have flown in space. For each entry, the author contextualizes the spacefarer's accomplishments in light of the political and cultural climate of the time. The second edition features fifteen additional profiles on figures such as Jessica Meir and Wally Funk; new interview material; a new thematic structure based on each woman's science specialty and role; an expanded glossary; and more. The result is a gallery of pioneering women who reached for the stars: women who, with exceptional skill, hard work, and dedication, reached impressive careers as accomplished pilots, researchers, engineers and managers, and left a legacy of strength for all aspiring spacefarers.Space Exploration,2731-541XWomen in astronauticsHistoryPhysicsHistoryWomen in physicsHistorySpace Exploration and AstronauticsHistory of Physics and AstronomyWomen's History / History of GenderOuter spaceExplorationWomen in astronauticsHistory.PhysicsHistory.Women in physicsHistory.Space Exploration and Astronautics.History of Physics and Astronomy.Women's History / History of Gender.629.4629.45009252Cavallaro Umberto825085MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910728397903321To the Stars3379520UNINA
