No, so far thee have only been a few female astronauts. After being exclusively male for nearly 30 years, NASA began recruiting women as mission specialists only after the first few space shuttle flights.

The Soviet Union's cosmonauts were predominantly male, but the first female cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova flew in 1963, near the beginning of the space age.

Both NASA and the Soviet Union selected astronauts primarily from the ranks of fighter pilots, a job from which women have mostly been excluded until recently.
