Earning degrees in the male-dominated fields of physics and engineering and gaining patents in computer optics, Ellen Ochoa was already a pioneering woman in her field at a young age. Always striving to push herself further, she joined NASA's space shuttle program and became the first Hispanic woman to fly in space. This inspirational story is told in compelling style, enhanced by dozens of full-color NASA photographs.
