Fascinating slice of history. Back in 1959, thirteen women were chosen to go into space. Before being chosen, they went through many of the same tests that the Mercury 7 went through.

The venture was privately funded and NASA never officially endorsed it. But there you go. A slice of history.

I can neither confirm nor deny the rumor that these women were volunteered by their husbands.
