Sally ride is important because she was the first American women in space!!!
The first woman (not girl) in space was from Russia-- her name was Valentina Tereshkova, and she flew her first mission in 1963. In America, the first woman astronaut was Sally Ride, who flew her first mission in 1983. (It should be noted that as far back as the 1960s, several other qualified American women, most notably Jerrie Cobb, tried to persuade NASA to allow women to fly into space, but NASA was very resistant to having women astronauts at that time.)
