About Martha Lemasters
Martha Lemasters spent almost ten years working as a PR writer at Cape Kennedy during the Apollo Program, where men outnumbered women 200 to 1. At a time when few women worked, she rose from secretary to a respected writer. The Step details her experiences as a woman determined to succeed personally and professionally, despite all obstacles. A trailblazer and growing feminist icon, Lemasters has become a sought-after speaker for women's groups.
