Editorial Reviews

I recommend this book to libraries that want to increase their biography and research collection.

Lane Education Service District

A challenging novel for those children who appreciate different forms of literature and the interplay of symbols and imagery.

CM Magazine

The author brings to life these women's dreams, struggles and achievements. Highly recommended for ages 9 and up.

Hi-Rise

The chapters work together to give us an engaging portrait of the role women have played in space history.

CM Magazine

Proof that you don't need a Y-chromosome to make significant advances in space travel.

Monday Magazine

For the girl with stars in her eyes, and not the Hollywood kind.

Globe and Mail

These women are inspirations to any girl or woman interested in a traditionally male-dominated career.
