Valentina Tereshkova

The female identity whom I wish to report on for the purpose of this ‘International Women’s Day’ PEEL task is Valentina Tereshkova. My decision to choose Valentina Tereshkova as my inspirational female role model is because this female identity was an inspiration to all females wishing to make a difference to society. She demonstrated bravery and courage and inspired every female to make a difference. Her demonstrated success in being the first female to go into space, reinforced my choice of this individual. In the same way Valentina excelled in the above, she also has displayed various human qualities and other milestones which led her to become so inspirational.
Valentina was the first female ever to fly to space. She blasted into the universe when she was at a very young age of 26 and to this day is still the first female to have made a solo space flight. The chief Soviet thought that sending a female into space was a good idea so on the 16 of February 1962, Valentina Tereshkova was selected to join the female cosmonaut corps. There were more than four hundred applicants and out of those applicants, five were selected: Tatyana Kuznetsova, Irina Solovyova, Zhanna Yorkina, Valentina Ponomaryova, and Tereshkova.
Valentina Tereshkova was a brave and inspirational woman. She was awarded many awards for her achievements and accomplishments. She was presented with awards from various categories such as Russian awards, Soviet awards, Scientific, social and religious organization awards, honorary citizenship awards, Recognition awards and other awards. These awards that have been presented to her show that she was an inspiring person and she was looked up to by many. She was recognized for her achievements and she was successful in becoming the first female to fly into space.
Valentina Tereshkova is an inspirational female figure because she inspires all females to make a difference in society and to make an impact even if it is small....
