Who was the first waman sent into space?
If you mean woman, it was Soviet cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, who flew into space aboard Voskhod 6 on June 16, 1963. Although Tereshkova experienced nausea and physical discomfort for much of the flight, she orbited the earth 48 times and spent almost three days in space. With a single flight, she logged more flight time than the combined times of all American astronauts who had flown before that date. Tereshkova also maintained a flight log and took photographs of the horizon, which were later used to identify aerosol layers within the atmosphere. Before being recruited as a cosmonaut, Tereshkova was a textile factory assembly worker and an amateur parachutist. She was selected as a cosmonaut based on her parachuting skills and she also met the height and weight restrictions. She was not a pilot and did not pilot her spacecraft. That's how the Soviets managed to be first in every early space achievement.
