Women On A Mission

Client: Charlesbridge, Penguin Random House | Author: Suzanne Slade


Women On A Mission: The Remarkable Heroes Who Put Men on the Moon spotlights 12 women who made the Apollo 11 mission possible. The book introduces readers to some of the unsung heroes who developed everything from rocket flight trajectories to the astronauts’ space suits to the cameras that broadcast the event back on Earth. Despite sexism and racism, these “hidden figures” persisted, contributing to the space program and paving the way for future women engineers and astronauts.
