On June 16, 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman ever to fly in space, orbiting the planet 48 times over three days on board Vostok 6. To this day, it remains the only solo spaceflight by a woman. The 26-year-old Soviet textile worker “traveled further than the entire American male astronaut corps combined” and was celebrated as a national heroine. At the 1963 World Congress of Women, Tereshkova’s flight was emphasized by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev as an icon of Soviet female emancipation to show that the USSR had achieved equality for women. This boast was not borne out by the Soviet/Russian space program in the years that followed.
