Kristen Griest and Shaye Haver etched their names in history in 2015 as the first women to conquer the brutal US Army Ranger School. This accomplishment wasn't just a personal victory; it marked a turning point for the US military, paving the way for future generations of women to reach for elite combat roles.

Ranger School is infamous for its ability to push soldiers to their absolute limits. It's a crucible of physical and mental challenges, demanding grueling physical training, sleep deprivation, and the ability to perform under the pressure of simulated combat scenarios. Griest and Haver's success shattered doubts, proving that women possessed the unwavering physical and mental strength to excel in this unforgiving environment.

Their graduation sparked a national dialogue about gender roles in the military. At the time, a policy barring women from direct ground combat roles remained in place. However, Griest and Haver's achievement became a powerful symbol of change, ultimately contributing to the repeal of that policy in 2016.

The story extends beyond the headlines. Both women faced online criticism and skepticism about their capabilities. Yet, they persevered, and later went on to become some of the first female infantry officers in the US Army.

Amazing story with Christina Koch, guest #5

On October 18, 2019, astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch made history by completing the first all-female spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS). This landmark event lasted for seven hours, beginning at 7:38 a.m. Eastern Time and concluding at 2:55 p.m. Eastern Time. Their mission involved crucial maintenance work on the ISS, including the replacement of a faulty power controller. This spacewalk not only underscored the advancements in gender equality within but also highlighted the growing presence of women in fields traditionally dominated by men.

Upon returning to Earth, Christina Koch achieved another milestone by setting the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, spending an impressive 328 days in orbit. She surpassed the previous record held by astronaut Peggy Whitson, who spent 288 days in space from 2016 to 2017. Koch's extended stay aboard the ISS was part of NASA's efforts to study the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body, which is crucial for planning future missions to Mars and beyond.

Koch's remarkable achievement is a testament to her resilience and dedication. Her mission provided valuable data on the psychological and physiological impacts of prolonged space travel, offering insights that are essential for the future of human space exploration. Additionally, her record-setting flight helped inspire a new generation of women and girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Jessica Meir, her fellow astronaut on the historic spacewalk, also played a significant role in this milestone. Meir, a marine biologist and physiologist, brought her extensive scientific expertise to the mission, contributing to the success of their tasks on the ISS. Together, Meir and Koch's achievements mark a significant step forward in the representation of women in space and exemplify the capabilities and contributions of female astronauts in advancing human space exploration.

Helen Keller, the deaf-blind author, lecturer and political activist, was born on this day in 1880. Keller is most famous for bringing the challenges of individuals who are deaf, blind, and/or mute to the forefront of the world's conscience. Through a life filled with remarkable achievements, she proved just how much was possible in spite of these obstacles, and was listed, in a Gallup poll, as one of the "20th Century's Most Widely-Admired People."

Born in Alabama, Helen Keller came into this world with her sight, hearing and speech capabilities intact. It was after a bout with serious illness at the age of 18 months that she lost each of these senses. The Perkins School for the Blind introduced former student Anne Sullivan to the Keller family, a connection that ultimately transformed Helen's resources for self-expression, and her ability to interact with the rest of the world. Through arduous work and dedication, Keller's communication abilities progressed from a world of near-complete isolation to hand signs, reading lips (through touch), and developing her own speech and writing skills.

As an adult, she spoke publicly, wrote numerous books, and actively participated in favorite causes, including suffrage rights, pacifism, and advocating for persons with disabilities. She also helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Upon graduating from Radcliffe College, Keller became the first deaf/blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Through it all, Anne Sullivan was almost always by her side, in a companionship that lasted for 49 years. Helen Keller's life has been famously depicted in the play and film "The Miracle Worker," along with countless books. She was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and inducted into the Women's Hall of Fame.

For two inspiring picture books about Helen Keller's extraordinary life, we highly recommend "Helen Keller: Little People, Big Dreams" (https://www.amightygirl.com/helen-keller-little-people) and "I Am Helen Keller" (https://www.amightygirl.com/i-am-helen-keller), both for ages 4 to 8

Mildred “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias -- one of the greatest all-around athletes of the twentieth century -- was born on this day in 1911. Famous for setting records in a wide variety of sports, most notably in golf, basketball, and track and field, Didrikson is widely credited with demonstrating that women could excel as professional athletes. In 1999, the Associated Press voted Didrikson the Woman Athlete of the 20th Century.

Born in 1911 to Norwegian immigrants in Texas, Didrikson knew from the time she was a teenager that her "goal was to be the greatest athlete who ever lived." To many at the time, however, female athletes were considered unfeminine and almost freakish. One article in the New York World-Telegram said, “It would be much better if [Didrikson] and her ilk stayed at home, got themselves prettied up and waited for the phone to ring.” But, over time, Didrikson's incredible performances won her many fans such as sportswriter Grantland Rice who wrote, "She is beyond all belief until you see her perform. Then you finally understand that you are looking at the most flawless section of muscle harmony, of complete mental and physical coordination, the world of sport has ever seen."

Didrikson participated in nearly every sport available to her at the time, including basketball, track, golf, baseball, tennis, swimming, diving, boxing, volleyball, handball, bowling, billiards, skating, and cycling. At the 1932 Olympics, Didrikson qualified for five events, but only competed in three, the maximum allowed for a woman athlete. She won two of the three events, and received silver in the last event after a dubious ruling about her high jump style that is still debated today. After the Olympics, she began her golf career, where she dominated the women’s circuit and earned the Associated Press’ Female Athlete of the Year from 1945 to 1947. At one point, when she was asked how someone weighing 145 pounds could drive the ball 250 yards, she replied, "You've got to loosen your girdle and let it rip."

In April 1953, after playing in the inaugural Babe Zaharias Open tournament, Didrikson was diagnosed with cancer. Surgeons operated, but discovered that the tumor had spread to her lymph nodes and was inoperable. Despite her illness, Didrikson returned to playing golf fourteen weeks after her surgery, and went on to a stunning comeback, winning her third US Women’s Open by a margin of twelve strokes. “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias died of cancer on September 27, 1956 at the age of 45 but her many honors, both past and present, remain an inspiration to female athletes who believe, as she did, “You can’t win them all -- but you can try.”

For adult readers interested in learning more about this incredible sports pioneer, we highly recommend "Wonder Girl: The Magnificent Sporting Life of Babe Didrikson Zaharias" at https://www.amightygirl.com/wonder-girl

To introduce young readers to this inspiring trailblazer, we recommend the two excellent biographies: “Babe Didrikson Zaharias: The Making of a Champion” for ages 10 to 14 (https://www.amightygirl.com/babe-didrikson-zaharias) and "Babe Conquers The World” for ages 9 to 13 (https://www.amightygirl.com/babe-conquers-the-world)

For a wonderful picture book about girls and women breaking athletic records throughout history, we highly recommend "Girls With Guts!" for ages 6 to 9 at https://www.amightygirl.com/girls-with-guts

Sally Ride became the first American woman in space 41 years ago today. Born in 1951, Dr. Ride, a physicist, joined NASA in 1978 and, on June 18, 1983, she first entered orbit as a crew member on the Space Shuttle Challenger. She conducted a second space flight in 1984, again on the Challenger, and spent a total of 343 hours in space. Ride was preparing for a third flight when the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred and she was named to the presidential commission investigating the accident.

In 1987, Ride left NASA and became a physics professor at the University of California, San Diego. She later led public outreach programs for NASA and devoted much of her time and effort to science education. In 2001, along with her partner Tam O'Shaughnessy, she founded Sally Ride Science which focuses on inspiring a wider interest in science, especially among elementary and middle school girls. Sally Ride died in 2012 of pancreatic cancer at age 61, leaving behind a tremendous legacy and inspiring an entire generation of girls to shoot for the stars.

As Ride said during an interview with the Harvard Business Review in 2012: "I never went into physics or the astronaut corps to become a role model. But after my first flight, it became clear to me that I was one. And I began to understand the importance of that to people. Young girls need to see role models in whatever careers they may choose, just so they can picture themselves doing those jobs someday. You can’t be what you can’t see."

To introduce kids to this pioneering role model, we recommend the new picture book "Sally Ride: Little People, Big Dreams" for ages 5 to 8 (https://www.amightygirl.com/sally-ride-little-people), the chapter book "She Persisted: Sally Ride" for ages 5 to 9 (https://www.amightygirl.com/she-persisted-sally-ride) and the illustrated biography "Who Was Sally Ride?" for ages 8 to 12 (https://www.amightygirl.com/who-was-sally-ride)

"I am, and always have been, passionately curious," says chemistry laureate Ada Yonath.

Yonath started investigating from a young age. When she was five she tried to measure the height of her family’s balcony by stacking up and climbing on pieces of furniture she found around the apartment. Her plan failed when she fell from her home-made tower and broke her arm.

The incident didn’t dim her curiosity. It would later lead her on a 20-year search to map the structure of the ribosome. Ribosomes are the cells’ factories for translating instructions written in the genetic code into proteins. Her work has helped us both to understand life’s core processes and to help us develop new antibiotics.

"Denmark’s Euro 2024 football squad have refused a pay rise to ensure the women’s team receive equal pay.

A new four-year agreement has been reached with the Danish Football Association that will see both male and female national team players receive the same fee for representing their country.

A 15% decrease in the men's team insurance coverage also allowed them to upgrade the women's team coverage by 50%, as well as that of the Under-21 men's team by more than 40%.

'The men’s team chose not to demand any changes in the conditions in their new agreement,' Michael Sahl Hansen, director of the Danish players’ union, Spillerforeningen, said in a statement published by FIFPRO.

'It’s an extraordinary step to help improve the conditions of the women’s national teams. So, instead of looking for better conditions for themselves, the players thought about supporting the women’s team.'

Senior players were consulted before a deal was struck that will come into effect following this summer’s tournament in Germany and run until 2028." - via The female athlete project

"The most dangerous phrase in the language is, “We’ve always done it this way.” -- Grace Hopper

A trailblazer in the world of computing, Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper is the person who taught computers to "talk". Her desire to make computers more accessible led Hopper to invent the compiler in 1952, which allowed for the use of English instructions as opposed to numerical code that had to be interpreted by a computer. She also co-invented the Common Business Oriented Language (COBOL), the first universal computer language used in business and government.

Considered by many “the first lady of software,” Grace Hopper was a visionary who consistently demonstrated her interest in pushing boundaries and exploring new territories. As journalist Morley Safer, who interviewed Hopper for 60 Minutes in 1983, observed: "She is more than just a superb mathematical talent; it was Grace Hopper who helped teach the machines a language, stopped them from speaking in undecipherable numbers, enabled them to speak in English or French or German or whatever language you choose." Dr. Hopper was also a mathematics professor during a time when such careers were highly unusual for women and was actively involved with the U.S. Navy for over 40 years.

To inspire kids with Grace Hopper's incredible story, we highly recommend the picture book, "Grace Hopper: Queen of Computer Code” for ages 5 to 9 at https://www.amightygirl.com/hopper-queen-of-code

She is also featured in a fun activity book about pioneering women in technology, which includes a variety of hands-on STEM projects: "Gutsy Girls Go for Science: Programmers" for ages 8 to 11 at https://www.amightygirl.com/gutsy-girls-programmers

For adult readers, we recommend the two excellent biographies on this technology trailblazer, we recommend "Grace Hopper: Admiral of the Cyber Sea" (https://www.amightygirl.com/grace-hopper-cyber-sea) and "Grace Hopper and the Invention of the Information Age" (https://www.amightygirl.com/grace-hopper-information-age)

For a fun way to celebrate this pioneering computer scientist, she is among several women of science featured on the "Greatest Women in Science Socks" for teens and adults at https://www.amightygirl.com/greatest-women-in-science-socks

"I have always thought of myself as a detective (…) I’ve been a detective since I was a little kid.”

- Claudia Goldin, who was awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2023.

Goldin wanted to be a bacteriologist and to do her detective work under a microscope, but instead she works with archival documents and large amounts of data.

She provided the first comprehensive account of women’s earnings and labour market participation through the centuries. Her research reveals the causes of change, as well as the main sources of the remaining gender gap.

“Being a detective means that you have a question. And the question is so important that you will go to any end to find it. In addition, a detective always believes that there is a way of finding the answer. And that’s the way I have always done research.”

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900-1979) stands as a monumental figure in the field of astronomy and astrophysics, celebrated for her pioneering contributions that fundamentally altered our understanding of stellar composition. Born in Wendover, England, Payne-Gaposchkin's early fascination with science led her to the University of Cambridge, where she studied under the mentorship of renowned astronomer Arthur Eddington. Despite the institutional barriers faced by women in science at the time, she persevered, driven by a passion for unraveling the mysteries of the universe.

In 1923, Payne-Gaposchkin moved to the United States to work at the Harvard College Observatory. Under the guidance of Harlow Shapley, she embarked on her groundbreaking doctoral research. Her 1925 thesis, titled "Stellar Atmospheres, A Contribution to the Observational Study of High Temperature in the Reversing Layers of Stars," revolutionized astrophysics by proposing that stars were primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. This hypothesis contradicted the prevailing assumption that stars had a similar composition to Earth, rich in heavier elements.

Her conclusion was initially met with skepticism by the astronomical community. Henry Norris Russell, a leading astronomer of the time, advised her against her interpretation, believing it to be incorrect. However, subsequent research confirmed her findings, and today her work is recognized as one of the most significant achievements in 20th-century astronomy.

Payne-Gaposchkin's contributions extended far beyond her doctoral research. In 1956, she made history by becoming the first woman to be appointed as a full professor at Harvard, breaking significant gender barriers in academia. Later, she became the first woman to head a department at Harvard when she was named Chair of the Department of Astronomy in 1956, a position she held until her retirement in 1966.

Her work was not limited to stellar composition. Payne-Gaposchkin also made substantial contributions to our understanding of variable stars, the structure of the Milky Way, and the evolution of stars. Her prolific career included the publication of several influential books and over 150 scientific papers.

Despite the initial resistance to her groundbreaking work, Payne-Gaposchkin's contributions have been widely recognized and celebrated in the years following her death. She received numerous awards and honors, including the prestigious Henry Norris Russell Prize from the American Astronomical Society in 1976. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of and astrophysicists, particularly women in science, who view her career as a testament to perseverance, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.

Cecilia Payne married Russian-born Sergei Gaposchkin in 1934, with whom she collaborated on numerous research projects. They had three children together, and Payne-Gaposchkin managed to balance her demanding career with family life, often working late into the night after putting her children to bed.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin's life and work remain a cornerstone in the of astronomy. Her discovery that stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium not only transformed our understanding of the universe but also paved the way for future research in stellar and galactic astronomy.
