Sally Ride: A Photobiography of America's Pioneering Woman in Space BY Tam O'Shaughnessy

An intimate journey from her formative years to her final moments. Before she earned a Ph.D. in physics, she was called an underachiever by her high school classmates. After her first historic space flight-she took a second in 1984-Sally continued to break ground as an inspirational advocate for space exploration, public policy, and science education, who fought gender stereotypes and opened doors for girls and women in all fields during the second half of the twentieth century. Hardcover. 153 pages.
