In 1975, she co-led a group of 15 women to the summit of Mt. Everest, becoming the first female ever to reach the peak. She would eventually ascend the highest summit on every continent.

- Valentina Tershkova, Sally Ride, and Eileen Collins, first female astronauts


In 1983, America sent its first woman into space—Sally Kristen Ride, who had joined NASA only five years earlier. The first female astronaut of all time, however, was Russia’s Valentina Tershkova, who in 1963 spent three days in space and orbited our planet 48 times in a space capsule. The first female pilot and commander of a U.S. spacecraft was Eileen Collins, who captained Space Shuttle Mission STS-93 in 1999.

China also has an impressively large rural population, with 578 million living outside of major centers.
