I enjoyed learning more about an aspect of space exploration that hasn't received nearly as much attention as the SpaceMen. It was really interesting with the contrast of each decade's expectations vs what the women wanted for themselves (NASA and Life Magazine had an amount of control that would be unheard of today). The flaws were only those inherent with books of this scope- with so many women over so many years, most of the bios were necessarily thin.
