I do have my book.for this week wee need to get to 69 I'm am on page 59.its an interesting book.its a shame so many women had to die before their talent was reconized.
Our reading goal currently is 69 pages and I am on page 69. Something interesting was that the Russians were planning to use women in space because they were more emotionally stable in space.
Our reading goal was to get to page 69 and I'm on page 58. I'm enjoying this book as it contains women's history intertwined with science and engineering history. However, at certain points in this book, I almost resent the author's tone. She markedly denounces femininity while praising the particularly tomboyish nature of Jerrie Cobb, which is something that has no place in a book with such a striking feminist undertone.
I learned that the women's space program was cancelled due o mysterious govermental deciasions. I think this book would be great for girls who are interested in space.
I learned that even thought the fight to fly a aircraft was hard going to space was a lot harder for wonem then they thought it would be.
