Almost Astronauts 13 Women Who Dared To Dream

Stone, T. L. (2009). Almost astronauts: 13 women who dared to dream. New York, NY: Candlewick Press.

    Struggles endured by several women in the 1960’s as they fought hard to be treated as equals in this field.  The opposition they found from their male counterparts was a lot to endure, physically and mentally.  These women fought hard and long.  They have helped to pave the way for the women that today can be found serving as astronauts. This book included many black/white and colored pictures that help tell their stories. I thought this book gave great insight into a topic that might not have other wise been shared.
