lol. I own the book but I haven't got around to reading it yet. I've heard it one of those "you'll love it, or hate it" novels.
I would recommend: Stephanie Nolen's
Promised the Moon: The Untold Story of the First Women in the Space Race . It uncovers the role women played (and almost played) in the space race.
I think this quote from the novel is very telling:
But, above all else, the story of these extraordinary women, who ignored traditional roles, defied convention and broke through barriers is a tale of the painful, destructive experience of being caught on the cusp of social change. .
There are other novels that have come out since this one, but this is the first novel on the topic, and from the people who have read the others, it is the best.
