On this day in 1873, Susan B. Anthony was fined $100 for trying to vote in the 1872 U.S. presidential election. She refused to pay the fine, but never was allowed to vote.
On this day in 1953, The Boston Red Sox got 14 hits and a mind-boggling 17 runs in the 7th inning on their way to embarrassing the Detroit Tigers 23 to 3.
On this day in 1985, Wimbledon made Chris Evert Lloyd and Martina Navratilova co-number one seeds, the first time in the tennis tournament’s 63-year history for a co-top seeding.
On this day in 2007, a Canadian couple won their second big lottery jackpot in less than a decade. Jadwiga and Rudy Taylor of Mississauga won $20 million ($19 million U.S.) in the Lotto 6/49. The jackpot was 20 times the $1 million they won in 1999 in the Ontario 49 lottery.
OK, trivia fans: who became the first US woman astronaut on this day in 1983? Who was the first woman in space ever?
Good luck :)

I'm confused, are there 2 different questions here? I'll guess Sally Ride and hope she's the answer to at least one of them!
Sally Ride was the first US woman in space. Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova was the first woman ever in space.
Laine, nice answer! Now, did you sing Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" to get there?
Wow that name is quite a mouthful. And actually after I read Laine's answer I was singing "Ride, Sally, ride, upon your mystery ship..."
