SPACE FOR WOMEN by Pamela S. Freni is a history of the pioneering women who had a fervent desire to become astronauts and the obstacles they faced in attempting to reach that goal. It tells of the rigorous testing and training they undertook and how, in many ways, they excelled. Altogether, these thirteen women had more flight time amassed than their male counterparts. The testing showed that the women candidates were more resilient, less susceptible to stress, and required less room, food, air, and fuel than male astronauts. Despite these considerations and their exceptional performance, NASA scuttled the program as being an unfit occupation for females.

Many of these women are well known in The Ninety-Nines-- Jerrie Cobb, Wally Funk and B. Steadman.
