Valentina Tereshkova (1937) is a Russian cosmonaut who became the first woman to fly in space. She was selected for the Soviet space program and she piloted the Vostok 6 spacecraft in June 1963. Her achievements marked a milestone in space exploration and women's rights, showcasing her bravery to advancing spaceflight.
After finishing the portrait of Saint Sava, my Russian professor also gave me a job to paint any Russian woman for the Women's Day. She requested some ideas like Marina Tsvetaeva and Catherine the Great, but at the end, she liked my idea more. This portrait was displayed in the hallway of the school, beside other posters.
