In 1983, astronaut and astrophysicist Sally Ride became the first American woman in space aboard the space shuttle Challenger. In 2001, she started her own company to create educational programs and products to help inspire girls and young women to pursue their interests in science and math. Ride served as president and CEO. For her contributions to the field of science and space exploration, Ride received the NASA Space Flight Medal and the NCAA's Theodore Roosevelt Award. She was also inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame and the Astronaut Hall of Fame. In 2013, President Obama posthumously awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. . . . #sallyride #sallyrideforever #nasa #space #outerspace #challenger #womenshistorymonth #famouswomen #famouswomeninhistory #astronaut #astrophysicist #spaceshuttle #nationalwomenshalloffame #lgbt #presidentialmedaloffreedom #history #rolemodel (at Port Orange, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_pQGqlmjo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=78xiwzpyxe7v

Anticipating this up coming movie based on the extraordinary and inspirational life of Harriet Tubman. Growing up and even recently, I've read many books on her life. She is an icon of courage and freedom. Borned into slavery, turned abolitionist, political activist, Civil War scout, nurse, suffragist and much, much more. Cynthia Chinasaokwu O. Erivo (British actress, singer and songwriter) is Harriet Tubman US movie release date November 1, 2019 I'm buying tickets today! #harriettubman #harrietthemovie #africanamericanhistory #americanhistory #periodmovies #famouswomeninhistory #heroicwomen #historicalwomen (at Vivian Vintage 8) https://www.instagram.com/p/B37QGGpB2bM/?igshid=19w8xg55971fz

Bedtime reading for she inspires me always. Her statement that keeps me to ground and I follow the most is "At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can." finally managed to get a wonderfully illustrated book on this beautiful personality. #frida #smartphoneclick #smalljoysoflife #bibliophile #booklove #youarewhatyouread #readingforjoy #fridakahlo #kidsbookstagram #illustratedbooks #childrenbooks #childrensillustration #illustration #kidlitart #littlepeoplebigdreams #womenwhoinspire #famouswomeninhistory #inspiration #fridakahloinspired #inspirationalquotes

Maya Angelou was one of the most renowned figures of the twentieth century. Before she became one of the most important African-American authors, orators and civil rights activists of the 20th century, Maya Angelou broke barriers working as San Francisco’s first female black street car conductor. In 1993, Angelou wrote and delivered a poem, “On The Pulse of the Morning," at the inauguration for President Bill Clinton at his request. In 2000, she received the National Medal of Arts, and in 2010 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. . . . #mayaangelou #famouswomeninhistory #famouswomen #womenshistorymonth #author #poet #civilrightsactivist #makinghistory #empowered #poem #pulseofthemorning #presidentclinton #presidentobama #honor #strongwomen #presidentialmedaloffreedom #clinton #obama #nationalmedalofarts #orator (at Port Orange, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu8vv96lw9q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hl1h561lqjn7
