This blog is for Sally Ride. She changed history for all women. A long time ago women did not have the same rights as men. It was as if there was a glass ceiling keeping women below men. But Sally Ride broke through that glass celing, and pushed to get where she wanted to be. She also inspired other women to do the same. Sally Ride was the first female astronaut in space, in 1983. Sally Ride was born in May 1951. As a child growing up, she loved science and math. She enjoyed playing tennis and after high school she thought that she might become a professional tennis player but later found out it was not for her. She went to Stanford university in California. Her moment was in 1977 when she responded to a newspaper ad that NASA was looking for astronauts. Over 8,000 applied but only 25 were hired, and she was one of them! After lots of hard work and training she went to space. She died at 61 years old from pancreatic cancer. Sally Ride changed history and will never be forgotten.
