1. Almost Astronauts
"Almost Astronauts" is a compelling non-fiction book that chronicles the story of thirteen American women who, in the 1960s, underwent rigorous tests to prove they were as capable as men to become astronauts. Despite successfully passing the same physical tests as their male counterparts in NASA's astronaut program, these skilled female pilots faced insurmountable sexism and political obstacles that ultimately prevented them from going to space. The book highlights their struggle for equality in the space race and sheds light on the broader societal challenges and discrimination women faced during that era, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and courage in the face of injustice.
