520    "Have you ever heard of the 'Mercury 13' women? Did you 
       know that nearly twenty years before the first women were 
       let into NASA's astronaut program, there were others who 
       tried? What are the requirements for being shot into space,
       piloting a hunk of metal while carrying the hopes and 
       fears of your nation? Mastery of flying, as well as 
       courage, intelligence, resistance to stress, and fitness -
       - any checklist would certainly includes these. But when 
       America created NASA in 1958, there was an unspoken rule 
       in place: astronauts must be male, and they must be white.
       Here is the tale of thirteen women who proved not only 
       that they were as tough as any man but also that they were
       brave enough to challenge the government. Their passage to
       space was blocked by prejudice, jealousy, and a note 
       scrawled by one of the most powerful men in Washington. 
       But in the end, their inspiring example empowered young 
       women to take the rightful place in the sky, piloting jets
       and commanding space capsules. Almost Astronauts is the 
       story of thirteen true pioneers of the space age."--
