Recs if you like The Six: The Extraordinary Story of the Grit and Daring of America's First Women Astronauts...

I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!

Non-fiction works about women who went to space or worked for NASA/ESA/JAXA/Roscosmos/etc. Also (in a rarity for me) includes children's books.

To infinity and beyond - or at least the moon. Non-fiction stories about outer space, how we get there, and how it changes us.
