Back on this day in 1983 Sally Ride became the first women in space. Former tennis player, she answered an ad from NASA calling for "tech-savvy" scientists.

Joan Goodwin, an astronomer who has been in love with the stars since childhood, learns one day in 1980 that NASA is seeking the first women astronauts to join its space shuttle program. Taylor Jenkins Reid's new novel Atmosphere follows Joan as she becomes one of those astronauts, navigating new challenges, disaster, and a secret romance along the way. In today's episode, Reid speaks with NPR's Debbie Elliott about her research process for the novel, which included visiting the Johnson Space Center, conversations with a former NASA employee, and a lot PDFs. They also discuss the early days of NASA's shuttle program and the way the agency had to adjust to women joining the astronaut corps.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

INTERVIEW: Cynthia Farquhar & Michaela Selway on new book 'Against the Odds: New Zealand's first women doctors' by Zac Hoffman on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

Host Diana Korte speaks with award-winning journalist Becky Aikman about her new book, “SPITFIRES. The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger During World War II.” This is a fast paced true story of the 25 US women who flew the world's most dangerous aircraft through the treacherous skies of Britain during World War II eighty years ago. Another fifty years would pass before the first American woman piloted a US fighter plane in combat.They were crop dusters and debutantes, college girls and performers in flying circuses — all of them pilots who wanted to serve in World War II. Because they were women, their own country turned them away. But Great Britain, in a desperate fight for survival, would let anyone — even Americans, even women -- fly warplanes. Twenty-five of them bolted for England in 1942. They became the first American women to fly perilous missions in military aircraft. In England these “spitfires” lived like women decades ahead of their time. They risked their lives in one of the deadliest jobs of the war, flying new, barely tested fighters and bombers to air bases and returning shot-up wrecks for repair. Many transport pilots died in crashes or made spectacular saves.  

In this powerful Mother's Day message, Pastor Abbie Sawczak explores the often overlooked stories of women in the resurrection narrative and early church. Through examining these accounts, she reveals how Jesus's resurrection didn't just conquer death but broke every curse of oppression and silence, empowering all people to participate fully in God's mission.Pastor Abbie shows how women like Mary Magdalene, Pilate's wife, and the woman with the alabaster jar defied cultural expectations to witness and bear testimony to Jesus. The sermon challenges us to examine where we need to see Jesus more clearly in our own lives and where we're called to share that witness with others.Whether you're struggling to see Jesus in the darkness or seeking to pour out your devotion more completely, this message offers both comfort and challenge. Pastor Abbie reminds us that when we encounter the beauty of Jesus, it should compel us to "tell somebody" and to break open our own "alabaster jars" in full devotion to Him.Join us for this thought provoking exploration of how the resurrection invites all of us regardless of gender, background, or social status to come close to Jesus and be commissioned for His kingdom work.Bible Verses Referenced:Matthew 26:6-13 (Woman anointing Jesus at Bethany)Matthew 27:11-24 (Jesus before Pilate, including Pilate's wife's warning)Matthew 28:1-10 (Women at the tomb and the resurrection)Matthew 28:18-20 (The Great Commission)Genesis 3:15-16 (The curse after the fall)Acts 2 (Peter quoting Joel about sons and daughters prophesying)1 Corinthians 14:34 (Women being silent in churches)1 Corinthians 11:5 (Women praying and prophesying)1 Timothy 2:12 (Women teaching and authority)

In this episode, I spoke with Mary Mallory about her book "First Women of Hollywood: Female Pioneers in the Early Motion Picture Business". Largely created by immigrants, the film industry evolved over its first few decades thanks to the work of people outside the traditional ruling class—immigrants, people of color, women—partly as a result of elites denigrating the fledgling field. As the moving picture industry transitioned from neophyte to powerhouse, young and ambitious rebels energized its output. follow Forgotten Hollywood on Facebook!

Detroit, in particular, was ranked as the top U.S. metropolitan area for growth in women-owned businesses. “The launch of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship is an exciting step toward ensuring that second-stage, women-owned businesses receive the targeted support they need to thrive, said Brian Calley, SBAM President & CEO. “This program will provide invaluable resources, from mentorship and business certifications to networking opportunities and access to capital, helping these entrepreneurs overcome the unique challenges they face.” Qualifying businesses have more than one employee in addition to the owner, have been in operation for at least two years, and generate a minimum of $500,000 in annual revenue. Here are the businesses that were selected for the inaugural cohort: ● Eagle Specialties, LLC ● Elderly Instruments ● Fido & Stitch ● Groovy Donuts ● Jungle Jane Promotions ● Marshall Holding ● Neuco Furniture & Upholstery ● Pioneer Machine and Technology, Inc ● The Betty Brigade ● Winsome Travel Design ● Wolverine Pickleball Recent data underscores the need for the support provided by this new program.

There was a time, before Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, when some researchers believed women were better suited for space than men. In 1961, a group of female pilots—today known as the Mercury 13—quietly aced NASA's toughest astronaut tests, even outperforming the Mercury men in some areas. But with the space race heating up, their mission was grounded— but not by science. But what became of America's first female astronaut candidates?Guests: Margaret Weitekamp, chair of the space history department at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, and author of Right Stuff, Wrong Sex: America's First Women in Space Program andSpace Craze: America's Enduring Fascination with Real and Imagined Spaceflight Emily Calandrelli, engineer, author, and TV show host of Emily's Wonderlab and Xploration Outer Space

First Women's Gathering of 2025 on the theme of building “A Faith that Lasts” from Hebrews 12:1-2. The truth is that walking closely with God no matter the season or struggle is not always easy. Sometimes heartbreak and the difficult stuff of life can really shake our faith. BUT- it is possible to stay deeply connected with Jesus, firm in our faith, for our whole lives.

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Jessie Gabriel. The two talk about communicating company values, overcoming the fear of using one's voice, and the critical importance of building a supportive team. Jessie shares how her firm evolved from a "by women for women" brand to an inclusive space appealing to clients of all genders. In this episode, we discuss: How authenticity shapes leadership What inspired Jessie to start her own business How managing a team presents unique challenges and rewards How entrepreneurship fosters personal growth and self-discovery Why community support is vital for entrepreneurs   Jessie Gabriel is the founder of All Places, a champion for women, and a prominent voice on the role of capital ownership and control in achieving gender equity. Raised by a single working mother in Southern California, Jessie's success came with a deep appreciation of how gender norms and unequal access to capital contribute to a systemic lack of opportunities for women-identifying entrepreneurs and executives. Jessie's personal vision and passionate advocacy are fueled by the desire to create true change–All Places is the culmination of her expertise and ethos, a space for women to formulate businesses of all kinds, receive trusted legal and strategic guidance, and ultimately cultivate long-term financial success. Jessie started her career in economics, working first at a consulting firm before moving to a major think tank. As a lawyer, she has worked at some of the country's most prestigious firms, including Cravath, Swaine & Moore and BakerHostetler, where she was the youngest woman to lead her own team and launched the firm's Investment Funds practice. Her clients have ranged from Fortune 10 companies to trailblazing pre-seed startups, and have included numerous women-founded private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds. In 2020, she stepped down as an equity partner to launch All Places. Jessie serves as an advisor to First Women's Bank, Mercer regarding their Leap mandate, and Turning Rock Partners (a women-led private credit fund managing over $1b in assets), and sits on the Boards of the New America Alliance, an organization that advocates for the Latinx asset management community, and New Destiny Housing, which builds permanent, beautiful, affordable housing for families that have survived domestic violence. Jessie received her B.A. in economics from Dartmouth College and her J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School, where she was elected to the Order of the Coif, won the Campbell Moot Court Competition, and served as Executive Editor of the Michigan Journal of Race and Law.   https://www.all-places.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessiegabriel/

At long last, 2024 marks the first ever women's field in the iconic (and somewhat controversial) freeride competition, the Red Bull Rampage.

In 1748, Lord Chesterfield told his son not to expect much from women: they “are only children of a larger growth; they have an entertaining tattle, and sometimes wit; but for solid, reasoning good sense, I never knew in my life one who had it, or who reasoned and acted consequentially for four-and-twenty hours together.” In 1739, an anonymous pamphleteer laid out the case for Man Superior to Woman; or, a Vindication of Man's Natural Right of Sovereign Authority over the Woman, writing that even if a woman was educated, “if this Lady is a scholar she is a very sluttish one; and the much she reads is to very little Purpose.” This was the terrain, writes the Irish historian Susannah Gibson in her new book, The Bluestockings, in which Elizabeth Montagu dared to host weekly salons about the intellectual debates of the moment—among the hottest of which was whether or not women should even be engaging in such discussions in the company of men. At Montagu's table, Samuel Johnson rubbed elbows with the likes of the classicist Elizabeth Carter, the historian Catharine Macauley, and the novelist Frances Burney. Gibson's new book paints a group portrait of these varied women, the polite challenge they posed to the patriarchy, and the forces that would eventually lead to the unraveling of their power.Go beyond the episode:Susannah Gibson's The Bluestockings: A History of the First Women's MovementWe have too many links to the Bluestockings' own books, so visit our episode page for the full list!Tune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.
