The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova, in 1963. The first American woman in space was Sally Ride. Roberta Bondar was Canada's first female astronaut, who in 1992 flew in NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery.
RussiaRussian (Soviet). The Russian sent a woman into space in the 1960's. The USA was planning to send a woman into space in the 1960's, but, did not do so, because President LBJ ordered NASA not to. The USA would not send a woman into space until the 1980's.

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.)

Sally Ride probably liked to do space travel (why not she is the first woman in space after all!!) She also probably liked to work with NASA, and find new stars and planets.

Sally Ride joined NASA because she was a skilled physicist and her expertise was valuable in the astronaut program. She became the first American woman in space as a result of her hard work and dedication to her field. Ride's passion for space exploration and breaking barriers for women in STEM also motivated her decision to join NASA.
