American Women Quarters 2022 Ornament –Dr Sally Ride

 DESCRIPTION This collectable keepsake ornament is the latest offering from the American Women Quarters™ Program! From 2022-2025, this historic program celebrates the accomplishments and contributions made by prominent women of the United States. All of the honorees—representing ethnically, racially, and geographically diverse backgrounds—distinguished themselves in a wide variety of fields and endeavors, including suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, the arts, and many others. As the first American woman to soar into space aboard the Challenger on June 18, 1983, Dr. Sally Ride captured the Nation’s imagination as a symbol of the ability of women to shatter barriers. Her historic flight aboard the space shuttle represented just one aspect of a remarkable and multi-faceted life—she was also a physicist, athlete, science writer, and inspirational leader in science education. This keepsake ornament is exquisitely designed and hand-crafted
