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. 410 0$aSpace Exploration,$x2731-541X 606 $aOuter space?Exploration 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aPhysics?History 606 $aWomen?History 606 $aSpace Exploration and Astronautics 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aWomen's History / History of Gender 615 0$aOuter space?Exploration. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aPhysics?History. 615 0$aWomen?History. 615 14$aSpace Exploration and Astronautics. 615 24$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aWomen's History / History of Gender. 676 $a629.4 700 $aCavallaro$b Umberto$0825085 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910728397903321 996 $aTo the Stars$93379520 997 $aUNINA
