    GENDERED SPACE: EMERGING FRAMES IN NASA PUBLIC RELATIONS AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA REPRESENTATION, 1958-1986 by Helen Elaine Wilds A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media and Communication Middle Tennessee State University December 2019 Thesis Committee: Dr. Jane Marcellus, Chair Dr. Tricia Farwell Dr. Jennifer Woodard DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to my Mom and Dad, who have always encouraged me to reach for the stars. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have many people to thank for helping me on this journey. To Mom, Dad, Grant and Jacob and all my loved ones, I’m so thankful for your love and support; it has kept me going even when I doubted myself. To Juju, I’m specifically grateful to you for keeping my 3rd grade Sally Ride poster, which has been a great reminder of my long- standing interest in NASA and women’s accomplishments in space while writing this thesis. I’m thankful for my committee and the program faculty for helping me through this process, teaching me and supporting my ideas. To Dr. Marcellus, I’m forever grateful for your guidance and wisdom. Your dedication and motivation have helped keep my love for this project going. iii ABSTRACT The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded October 1, 1958, and has been the subject of research, news and popular culture since its inception. Recent films such as Hidden Figures (2016) and Mercury 13 (2018) have given credence to the contributions of women to the space agency.
