byEileen CollinsandJonathan Ward

Focused on the Story of the First American Woman to Command a Space Mission, Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars brings Eileen Collins & Jonathan Ward's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
