Traditionally, sewing is women's work and a female skill. What women do is often derided as 'craft' rather than expertise. Well, sewing was very much an expertise needed for the Apollo missions. Women made the spacesuits which kept the men alive. 🧪 #FeministMoon

Hazel Fellows and the Women Who Made the Apollo Spacesuits

Hazel Fellows has come to represent the group of women pattern cutters, seamstresses, and assemblers who made the spacesuits for the Apollo program.

At the Apollo 11 landing site, celebrated as the first place humans set foot on another planet, the famous first footprint left by Neil Armstrong was created by an overshoe made by women at the International Latex Corporation (ILC) in Dover, Delaware. 🧪 #FeministMoon
