Author

I loved this non-fiction book because it was an account of the first six women astronauts in America who displayed grit, determination, courage, fearlessness, and full commitment in the face of societal discrimination.

It was great to learn about the history and sometimes tragedy these women suffered. It was at times thrilling, other times sad.

All the astronauts were highly educated, family-oriented, capable, loving, career-minded women who refused to be secondary characters in their own lives. I wished I could be an astronaut.

From Kim's list on Kim Pavy's favorite suspense thrillers that feature "true grit" strong women.
