This American image focused on strict gender binaries of man as the protector, controlling technology and containing communism, while woman was the passive actor with spaceflight technology—left behind in the home waiting for the return of the astronaut husband. Allowing women to fly into space would have represented a lack of individual control with spaceflight technology. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55335943995767,"sku":"9781839987175","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781839987175.jpg?v=1750330907","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781839987175","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
