Is it the strength and dedication that they have to keep their families going? Is it the strength they have as single mothers when they provetheir devotion to the well-being of their children to them? Is it the strength they display every day when they rise to the challenges of the modern day? They draw on the strength inherent in women that enabled them to not just bear the burden of past challenges, but overcome them. Today, women continue that noble fight. They fight for their unalienable rights and the ability to live their lives uncontested by anyone. They fight to live in their own homes, by their own rules, and the ability to live in a society that gives them equal representation in the “The Strength of a woman government.

  • Mae Jemison Is an Inspiring and Impactful Person. Born October 17, 1956, Mae Had Big Dreams and Followed Them
    Mae Jemison is an inspiring and impactful person. Born October 17, 1956, Mae had big dreams and followed them. She had parents who supported her love of education and helped her in her school studies. In high school, she discovered her love of the sciences and astronomy and went on to study biomedical engineering at Stanford, instead of following her hobby of dancing. Later she received a degree in chemical engineering. She then aided people in the Peace Core until 1985, when she applied to be an astronaut for NASA, her original dream. Out of 2,000 people who applied, she was one of the 15 people selected. In 1986, she achieved her longtime dream of being an astronaut. She brought her love of dancing with her, and danced in space. After her historic flight, she continued on in NASA until 1993, when she took a teaching job at Dartmouth. Mae accomplished many amazing things, but the thing that made her accomplishments so amazing, was that she was a female African American. Back then, women, let alone black women, were often not valued or given the same opportunities as men. So the fact that she was able to achieve great things, with that disadvantage, is amazing. She set a precedent for not only women and blacks, but anyone and everyone who wanted to seize their dreams. Her example inspires others to then go on and do great things which helped to shape our country's history. Two women that have followed in Jemison’s footsteps are Hillary Clinton, who has impacted our politics greatly, and Michelle Obama, who has helped youth to be healthier.

As a child, her parents were supportive of her interest in science, but she did not always see the same support elsewhere. When Jemison told a kindergarten teacher she wanted to be a scientist when she grew up, the teacher as- sumed she meant she wanted to be a nurse. Seeing a lack of female astronauts during the Apollo missions also frustrated Jemison. She later recalled, “everybody was thrilled about space, but I remember being really really irritat- ed that there were no women astronauts.” Mae Jemison (1956 - ) Mae Jemison is an American engineer, physi- cian, and NASA Astronaut.

  • Dr. Mae C. Jemison: Breaking Racial and Gender Barriers in Space
    Dr. Mae C. Jemison: Breaking Racial and Gender Barriers in Space Abigail Macduff Senior Division Individual Documentary Process Paper Word Count: 491 Time: 9:59 Process Paper When I began looking for an NHD topic, I knew I wanted a topic that was involved with civil rights, specifically on gender or racial issues. After researching multiple events, I narrowed my potential NHD topic to two women who had broken barriers in space: Sally Ride and Mae Jemison. After researching both women further, I decided to study Mae Jemison as my NHD topic. This allowed me to address the civil rights movement that occurred within America in the 1960’s, an event that has impact on my family. I began to research Mae Jemison on multiple platforms, with most of the being biographies about her. I used information I gathered from those sources as a starting point for the rest of my project. I took my search to YouTube, where I found multiple videos of her sharing her story. Although I could have easily filled up the ten-minute documentary with information I gathered from these sources, I realized Jemison’s story is not just about her, but about barriers that were broken which allowed for her to enter space. Multiple barriers were broken that allowed for Jemison to enter space, but there were two that I decided to focus on: racial and technological barriers. Although gender barriers had to be broken to make it socially acceptable for Jemison to enter space, I focused on racial barriers that had limited her.

  • “Defying Gravity: Mae Jemison” by Anina Robb
    DEfYiNg GRaViTy: MAe JEmIsOn by Anina Robb Have you ever wanted to float above the earth? Or maybe defy 1 gravity? Dr. Mae Jemison did, but she couldn’t decide how to best achieve this goal. Perhaps she should study science and become an astronaut? Or maybe she should follow her love of dance and become a professional dancer? At first glance, these two dreams seem like they belong at the opposite ends of a wish list, but Mae Jemison followed both her dreams of dancing and becoming an astronaut. She became the first African American woman astronaut and showed the world how dancing and space travel aren’t that different. Born October 17, 1956, in Decatur, Alabama, Mae and her family 2 moved to Chicago when she was only three. Mae always considered Chicago her home. As a young girl, Mae imagined “by now we’d be going into space like you were going to work.” Her parents were always very supportive of her dreams of studying science—even if her teachers were not always so open-minded. When Mae was five years old, her kindergarten teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. Mae replied, “A scientist!” Her teacher was surprised as there weren’t many women scientists 3 in 1961. So her teacher said, “You must mean a nurse?” And Mae remembers thinking that there was nothing wrong with 4 being a nurse, but that was not what she wanted to be. So she said, “No, a scientist!” Mae also loved to dance.
