Product Information
Spaceflight historian Amy Shira Teitel tells the riveting story of the female pilots who each dreamed of being the first American woman in space. When the space age dawned in the late 1950s, Jackie Cochran held more propeller and jet flying records than any pilot of the twentieth century-man or woman. She had led the Women's Auxiliary Service Pilots during the Second World War, was the first woman to break the sound barrier, ran her own luxury cosmetics company, and counted multiple presidents among her personal friends. She was more qualified than any woman in the world to make the leap from atmosphere to orbit. Yet it was Jerrie Cobb, twenty-five years Jackie's junior and a record-holding pilot in her own right, who finagled her way into taking the same medical tests as the Mercury astronauts. The prospect of flying in space quickly became her obsession. While the American and international media spun the shocking story of a "woman astronaut" program, Jackie and Jerrie struggled to gain control of the narrative, each hoping to turn the rumored program into their own ideal reality-an issue that ultimately went all the way to Congress. This dual biography of audacious trailblazers Jackie Cochran and Jerrie Cobb presents these fascinating and fearless women in all their glory and grit, using their stories as guides through the shifting social, political, and technical landscape of the time.

Reviews
"Breathtaking...If youcome to this book without any knowledge of the nascent days of spaceflight,Teitel's writing will immediately immerse you in this foreign landscape, makingyou feel like you're experiencing the personal journeys of these remarkablecharacters right alongside them. If you do have a knowledge of many of theevents, her writing will likely only deepen whatever your opinion was goinginto the story."-- Forbes, "In this smart, fun, compelling, anddeeply researched book, Teitel tells the tale of Jackie Cochran and Jerrie Cobb,who scrapped with each other and, more important, with a blinkered,male-dominated space agency, for their chance to be among the first humans toleave the planet. It's a story of ambition, talent, gender equality, and of amedia frenzy that seems more twenty-first century than 1950s. Teitel's prose isas infectious as the space-history videos that have made her a YouTube sensation,and she has picked a story that must have been a delight to write. It'scertainly a delight to read."-- Jeff Kluger, author of Apollo 8 and coauthor of Apollo 13 with Jim Lovell, "In this smart, fun, compelling, anddeeply researched book, Teitel tells the tale of Jackie Cochran and Jerrie Cobb,who scrapped with each other and, more important, with a blinkered,male-dominated space agency, for their chance to be among the first humans toleave the planet.

In the case of Jackie Cochran and Jerrie Cobb,this book offers a revealing insight on two characters we thought we knew butdidn't. From different generations and with profoundly different but equallydogged motivations, these two pilots crossed paths and fought battles in the newworld of women pushing for a place in the air, and perhaps even in space. AmyShira Teitel digs beneath the stories to reveal motivations that are not alwaysas straightforward and admirable as other accounts suggest. A wealth oforiginal research reminds us that people are complex, and sometimes it is thosecomplexities that allow them to get as far as they do in the pursuit ofenormous goals-or hold them back."-- Francis French, author of In the Shadow of the Moon, "Spaceflighthistorian Teitel took a deep dive into a host of public records to craft thisdual biography of Cochran and Cobb, creating a firm portrait of two driven anddetermined individuals."-- Booklist, "Deftly crafted... Fighting for Space ably and informatively showcases this pair of inherently fascinating and absolutely fearless women using their life stories as guides through the every shifting social, political, and technical landscapes of their time."-- Midwest Book Review
