STP87 - After The Trailblazers - With Susan Kilrain
This week we’re joined by retired NASA astronaut Susan Kilrain to discuss a new book she’s currently writing called “After The Trailerblazers” for women in traditionally male-dominated fields. It mainly covers how even though the first woman has broken the glass ceiling, the shards of glass still remain to hinder the women who follow.
