Determined Women Break Barriers
At the beginning of the space race, women weren't even considered by the general public to be candidates as astronauts. However, women had experienced advanced technology and flight during WWII and were interested in continuing careers in these areas. The experiences of women who endured the same physical and mental testing as male astronauts are detailed in this book. Despite the positive results from the testing, women were barred from many careers in flight, including the most mundane to challenging positions.
