The first woman of color in space didn't even need that on her resume to be amazing. Reading about Jemison's childhood and academic accomplishments, he hobbies and interests...this is a person impressive on so many levels. I loved reading about her relationship with her siblings and how they protected each other from outsiders but were merciless to each other when together. Jemison is the type of person who takes advantage of every opportunity, she was involved in tons of activities in school at every level. When attending Stanford working on her Chemical Engineering degree, she managed to keep up with several of her favorite hobbies and earn enough credits for a second major. Truly a lovely person who, I noted, was one of seven women voted most likely to become President of the U. S. I would love to see her interests move to that position!
