I really wanted to like this book because I think the topic was interesting. I was interested in learning more about the women behind the success in space travel. I found the obstacles they faced also to be interesting. Overall, the book was informative.
However, this book took an incredibly long time for me to read. There were so many names, and I kept finding myself having to go back and figure out who people were or which mission was being discussed. The topics also seemed to go into different directions. One moment I would be reading about testing rockets and the next moment the author was describing one of the women's outfits. Other times a great deal of description went into one event and another was discussed in a few sentences. Many times I wondered if the book had been written by multiple authors because of the different styles I encountered throughout it.
