SUMMARY:Behind the Book with Valerie Neal
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhilarating journey through the history of US women astronauts with Valerie Neal\, emerita curator from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and expert on human spaceflight.\nSally Ride became a household name as the first American woman in space\, but scores of equally impressive women have also left their mark in space. On a Mission: The Smithsonian History of US Women Astronauts spans 45 years and 61 astronauts to share the epic journeys of women who made space for themselves in a male-dominated field.\nValerie Neal interviewed many of the US women astronauts to bring their experiences to life. She offers a culturally insightful history of their achievements\, the challenges they’ve faced\, and their distinctive stories. Collectively\, they’ve completed more than 100 space shuttle missions\, and more than 30 long-duration stays on the International Space Station and Russian Space Station Mir\, and they continue to prove themselves in present-day space exploration efforts.\nThe book includes 50 black-and-white photographs to complement the historical account. With its sweeping look from the first women astronauts to Christina Hammock Koch\, assigned to the first crewed Artemis mission around the Moon\, there is no comparably thorough book on America’s women astronauts. On a Mission is an inspiring tribute to unsung women’s history.\nRegister here (it’s FREE) and ask questions of the author here: https://libraryc.org/ebatesville/145682\nDigital live-stream is on Thursday\, April 2\, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST.\n\nCan’t attend live. No worries. Click the link above for the recording after the live date. This program is brought to you by Batesville Library and The Friends of the Library.
