First Woman to Walk in Space

Kathy Sullivan was the first woman to walk in space this day, 1984

On this date Kathy Sullivan revolutionized the peoples view of the limitation of a woman, quite literally taking them to outer worldly proportions.

I would have to say that in doing so this event is very good as it set the precedent for what a woman can achieve is she commits to her goals.  Moreover, the fact that it was set in the time of the feminist movement more than likely suggest that this event domino affected to the point that it helped expedite the feminist movement and bring about other changes involved with it.  Although this article may not appeal to me as much, I would say that this event not only influences the city, but also the nation and the world as a whole in showing women that anything ones sets her mind to is attainable.  Despite being a male myself I would say that I appreciate this because, quite frankly, I love women, and if women are happy and successful than that makes me happy. And – in all seriousness- this event lead to the progressive of the world and helped eradicate prejudice, which is inarguably a good thing for everyone.
