Item Description
The Mercury 13- The Untold Story of Thirteen American Women--the Dream of Space Flight
by Martha Ackmann with foreword by Lynn Sherr, 2003, 225 pages, hardcover
"The Mercury 13 women were not only dedicated and determined, they were enormously talented. To read about their accomplishments and to discover their passion to fly is to recognize an incredible lost opportunity." from the Foreword by Lynn Sherr
"...A sharply pointed narrative (about how thirteen) highly skilled fliers were grounded, leaving it to the Russians to put a woman in space fully twenty years before the American government saw fit to do so. A shameful episode exposed with thoroughness and a graceful pen..." Kirkus Reviews
