Introduction
America has had many women who have worked to be
successful. Women like Eleanor Roosevelt helped
other women to be successful or women like Sally
Ride, who was the first woman to go into orbit
for NASA. The only way they could be successful
was to work through their problems, whether it
was segregation, depression, age or skin color.
They all did it! Do you think you could?
