About the Hero of the Soviet Union, the world's first female cosmonaut, chairman of the Soviet Women's Committee, Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova. The fate of a simple girl from a peasant family, who, after graduating from the evening school of working youth, worked at a weaving factory, and then took off to the stars, became the "legend of the cosmic Cinderella." Even while working and studying at the technical school, Valentina became interested in the sky - while studying at the local flying club, she made 163 parachute jumps. However, the girl wanted to fly - and she achieved admission to the first female cosmonaut squad.
