In an age when women were little more than nurses and teachers, 13 women fought to become pilots and austronauts. These women were often referred to as "astrodolls" and "astronettes". These women were given test after test and passed every single one of them, but still struggled to be accepted. Almost Astronauts is the story of these 13 women how they fought to live their dream. The way Tanya Stone weaves these women's stories together makes for an remarkable journey through a part of history we are growing farther and farther away from. This book would be great as a reference resource, but also as a good read for those science and history buffs.
