The fact that there were problems of women cosmonauts in the professional environment was not known to many people in the Soviet years.

Valentina Tereshkova smiled at her compatriots from the pages of newspapers and magazines, from TV screens.

Reporters reported on the upcoming flights of the girls.

Then there was a feeling that the cosmos needed women even more than men.

So why are there only 50 women for every 400 people who have been in space during the entire space age?

Men hardly tolerate the presence of women even on an ordinary ship, and even more so on a space ship, and operate with scientific data, since psychologists and physiologists have not yet come to a consensus on this issue.

Physiologists believe that women and men should be equal.

Women are more stress-resistant, which means they are good for long expeditions, there is less iron in their body, they are less susceptible to radiation.

Men tolerate take-off and landing better, make decisions faster, they have larger veins, therefore, more active blood circulation, less dizziness.

Psychologists think that there is no reason for conflicts in a male team, whereas the presence of a woman provokes rivalry.

In the fall of 2004, Nadezhda Kuzhelnaya, already ready for flight, left the cosmonaut squad, and then loud headlines appeared in the media in the style of "There are no more female cosmonauts in Russia." Nevertheless, the history of women's space in the USSR and Russia has been going on for more than four decades, so why do men in our country oppose women's flights into space?

The main character of the film Nadezhda Kuzhelnaya, the doctor Elena Dobrokvashina, who never flew into space, cosmonauts Elena Kondakova, Svetlana Savitskaya, Claudie Enier (Andre-Dee) shared their memories of working in the cosmonaut squad and the mood around the topic of women's flights.

Vladimir Morozov, Valery Ryumin, Sergey Zaletin, Valery Polyakov, Mikhail Tyurin, Alexander Serebrov, Georgy Grechko, physiologist Inesa Benediktovna Kozlovskaya also starred in the film.
