ASTRONAUTS: WOMEN ON THE FINAL FRONTIER (ROARING BROOK) (PB)

The U.S. may have put the first man on the moon, but it was the Soviet space program that made Valentina Tereshkova the first woman in space in 1963. It took years to catch up, but soon NASA's first female astronauts were racing past milestones of their own. In this graphic novel, Jim Ottaviani and Maris Wicks capture the spirit of Mary Cleave, Valentina Tereshkova, Sally Ride, and other trail-blazing women.
