Sally Trip made history as the first American woman in space. An associate of the first astronaut category to add women, NASA chose her for the 7th shuttle mission, inspiring several years of women. After another flight, Ride served on the panels investigating the Challenger explosion and the Columbia disintegration that wiped out all aboard. In both circumstances, she faulted NASA's hurry to meet quest deadlines and its organizational failures. She also cofounded a company promoting science and education for children, especially young girls. In Sally Ride: America's First Female in Space, Lynn Sherr writes about Ride's scrupulously guarded personal life, with exclusive access to Ride's partner, her former partner, her family, and many friends and co-workers. This is a wealthy biography of a remarkable woman whose life intersected with ground-breaking social and methodical changes in the us. Sherr's revealing family portrait is warm and admiring but unsparing. It makes this extraordinarily talented and bold woman - an inspiration to thousands and thousands - come alive.
