Can a woman be an astronaut? Join the International Women's Air & Space Museum as they share the story of the participants in the Woman in Space Program (Mercury 13) of the 1960s. Participants will come away with an enhanced understanding of their lesser known histories, within the context of the Cold War and the start of greater cultural shifts. IWASM's Executive Director, Sara Fisher, will also give a sneak peek into the museum's newest exhibit Quest for the Stars which opens in October and shares the lasting legacy of the Mercury 13 and women working within NASA like Annie Easley, Katherine Johnson, and Mary Golda Ross.
