Making Space for Women: Stories from Trailblazing Women of NASA’s Johnson Space Center

Join us for a special discussion of Making Space for Women: Stories from Trailblazing Women of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, the book that won the 2023 Liz Carpenter Award and the Temple-Vick Award for its contributions to women's history.

From the creation of the Manned Spacecraft Center to the launch of the International Space Station and beyond, Making Space for Women explores how careers for women at Johnson Space Center have changed over the past fifty years as the workforce became more diverse and fields once closed to women—the astronaut corps and flight control—began to open.
