The Six was an extraordinary cohort of women recruited by NASA in
the seventies. Ride was just one member of the Six. Greeted in
Houston by make-up bags designed for use in space, no designated
locker rooms and flight suits that didn't fit, they went on to
break barriers on earth and in space. In 1983 Sally Ride became the
first American woman to go into space. Anna Fisher was assigned to
her first space flight while pregnant. Judy Resnik was killed in
the Challenger explosion in 1986. But her legacy - and that of all
the Six - lives on. This sparkling history reveals their journey
through NASA's outreach programme, rigorous tests and training,
sexism, press attention, and the solidarity with which they
overcame obstacles and launched into space.
