"One small step for a woman and a giant leap for all womankind."
Several women have gone up in space and returned, but the ones closest to our hearts are Kalpana Chawla who did not make it back to earth with her crew and remained a permanent star in the sky.Sunita Williams is an American Indian astronaut who has captured the hearts of everyone, especially school going children in India.
Having lived for a record six months at the ISS(International Space Station), ran a marathon in space(her sister ran the Boston Marathon on the earth along with her). She did several spacewalks and conducted many experiments. She even cut her waist length hair and preserved it to be given to a person recovering from disease.
In the following video, she talks just before she leaves the ISS to come back to Earth.
