40 women have been in space. The first was Sally Ride in 1983.
Yes, women have been in space since the early days of space exploration. The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova, a Soviet cosmonaut who flew aboard Vostok 6 in 1963. Since then, numerous women from various countries have participated in space missions, including those on the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, and other missions. Today, women continue to play significant roles in space exploration and research.
