Valentina Tereshkova was born in Russia. She blazed trails as an astronaut, piloting the Vostok 6 back in 1963 and becoming the first woman in space.

As a child, her family was stricken personally and financially when her father died in World War II. She was only able to attend school from age 8-16. Valentina was determined to continue her education. While working at factories, she continued her education through correspondence courses.

Valentina had been a sky diving enthusiast since the age of 22, which helped her beat out hundreds of candidates in the selection process. Due to extreme secrecy surrounding the Soviet space program, Tereshkova told her family that she was going to attend a parachuting competition. After her spaceflight, Valentina became a national and international role model for many women.
