When the space program was created back in 1958, men were only allowed to fly. This story told us the tale of 13 women who wanted to fly and showed the government that they were just as good and better as the men of NASA. Even though their fight with Washington failed, they gave other women the courage and strength to start fighting for their right to fly. These 13 women were the true pioneers of NASA.I was really excited to read this book because I am very fascinated with the space program. I had absolutely no idea that this ever happened to women. These thirteen women were very brave and courageous to stand up to Washington for what they believed. This book really disheartens me because I felt naive that stuff like this didn’t happen. I of course know that women weren’t allowed to vote, but it never crossed my mind that women were not allowed to fly either. I am so grateful to these women for being the pioneers to the “women” piloting program.
