Valentina Vladimirovna Nikolayeva Tereshkova was the first woman to travel in space in Vostok 6. Born in western Russia on March 6, 1937, she worked in a textile mill at age 18. Interested in parachuting as a hobby, she also trained as an airline pilot. She was not just the first woman to travel in space, but the first space traveler who hadn't been a test pilot, though her parachuting and piloting experience certainly qualified her for space work. Her Vostok 6 mission orbited the earth from June 16 through June 19, 1963.
