Sally Ride: First American Woman in Space

Author: Lynn Scherr
Stars: 5
Review by: Bstoskus

A wonderfully written account of Sally Ride's life early years, her selection as the first American woman in space, her contributions to women and girls in Science careers (Sally Ride Science) and her 27 year relationship with her partner Tam.  This book tells about the behind the scenes with NASA, women breaking into male dominated careers, and Sally's struggles with fame and her identity. A great read, very touching tribute as Lynn Scherr had a personal friendship and professional relationship with Sally.
