Right Stuff, Wrong Sex: America's First Women in Space Program (Revised) Paperback - 2005 - 1st Edition

by Margaret A. Weitekamp


From the rear cover

Margaret Weitekamp traces the rise and fall of the Lovelace Woman in Space program within the context of the cold war and the thriving women's aviation culture of the 1950s, showing how the Lovelace trainees challenged prevailing attitudes about women's roles and capabilities. In examining the experiences of the would-be Lady Astronauts, this study documents the achievements and frustrated hopes of a remarkable group of women.
