Judith Love Cohen's autobiography, 'Don’t Get Distracted!', is one of those gems that’s a bit tricky to track down but totally worth the hunt. I stumbled upon it a while back while deep-diving into biographies of pioneering women in STEM. It’s not as widely stocked as mainstream memoirs, but your best bets are online retailers like Amazon or Barnes & Noble—sometimes they have used copies floating around. Specialty bookstores focusing on science or feminist literature might also carry it, though I’d call ahead to check.
If you’re open to digital formats, keep an eye out for e-book versions; they pop up occasionally. Libraries are another underrated resource, especially university ones with strong engineering or history collections. I remember feeling such admiration reading about her work on the Abort-Guidance System for Apollo missions—her voice is so engaging and unapologetically nerdy. The book’s a reminder of how much quiet brilliance shapes our world.
Cohen’s autobiography feels like chatting with your coolest aunt—the one who built satellites and drops casual stories about outshining sexist colleagues. I found my copy through a small press seller on Etsy of all places! It’s quirky how these niche books turn up. The writing’s warm and peppered with technical anecdotes that’ll make you grin—like her insisting on wearing dresses to construction sites just to defy expectations. Check indie bookshop aggregators like Bookshop.org too; they support local stores while expanding access to rare titles. Her legacy deserves way more spotlight, and hunting down her book feels like joining a club of admirers who get it.
I’ve been obsessed with collecting autobiographies of trailblazing women, and Cohen’s was a white whale for me until last year. It’s self-published, which explains why it’s not in every bookstore, but that also makes finding it feel like uncovering a secret. AbeBooks had a reasonably priced secondhand copy when I checked—those vintage booksellers often come through. Pro tip: Set up alerts on used book sites; that’s how I snagged mine after months of waiting.
Her story’s particularly fascinating if you love aerospace history or tales of balancing motherhood with groundbreaking work. The chapter where she describes troubleshooting NASA emergencies with a toddler on her lap lives rent-free in my head. If you strike out online, try reaching out to STEM nonprofits or women-in-engineering groups; sometimes members circulate personal copies.

I gave Julian Marchetti thirty years of my life after the war ended.
I built his empire, raised his children, and held the family together behind the scenes.
But when he died, his will didn’t even mention my name.
Half his fortune went to our children. The other half went to Lydia Carter, the daughter of the man who’d saved his life in Normandy.
The same Lydia who’d stolen my identity.The same Lydia who’d built her entire life on the ruins of mine.
All he left me was a single note, scrawled in his familiar handwriting.
I loved you. We had thirty good years. But I owe Lydia. This is the least I can do.
I dropped dead of a heart attack right there in his study, clutching that pathetic piece of paper.
When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn in 1945, when the war had just ended
This time I will not swallow my anger and suffer in silence; I will fight back. And I will take back every single thing that is rightfully mine.

On their wedding day, a handsome groom and his beautiful bride said, "I Do." Their hearts were fluttering with pure joy! They had married the love of their life!
Is this what I experience? No, this is not that story. You see, love didn't become apparent until after my divorce. I can't wait to tell you how it all transpired. It's a riveting sweet romance novel. No cliffhangers, but a good read! Happy ending? You'll have to read it to find out.
My husband, Francis Zouche, thought we weren't well-off and could not afford to raise a child. So, he forcibly took me to the hospital to get an abortion. Right after the surgery, I discovered that he had transfered 200 thousand dollars to his first love, Heidi Colman, for her birthday.
Out of pure rage, I got into a huge fight with him in the car, which led to an accident that killed us both.
When I opened my eyes, we had returned to the day before our wedding.
In our previous life, we were married for ten years. We weathered storms and supported each other, but Francis never wanted us to have a child of our own.
On the day I died, I finally understood that the one he loved was Heidi.
After getting a second shot at life, I decided to fulfill his wish. We canceled the wedding, blocked each other's phone numbers, and never contacted each other again.
Eight years later, Francis became a top lawyer in Alvren and publicly proposed to Heidi at a law forum.
Seeing that I was still single, he mocked me with a sneer, "Yvette, I know you loved me for two lifetimes. But I am getting married now. Don't keep waiting for me to come back to you."
I glanced at him wordlessly and bent down to pick up my daughter before walking away.
As a shocking realization hit him, his eyes reddened.
He questioned furiously, "Didn't you promise to love me forever and to only give birth to my children?"
After sacrificing her vision, dreams and true love for her father's life, the amazing life of Josephine goes sour.
All feats she planned to achieve were swept under the rug.
What she doesn't know is that there are more secrets to her arranged marriage than she knows.
What will she do when she finds out her true identity?
What will she do when she finds out the real truth?
Will she forge ahead and fight for her love and family or will she drown in the storm of her life challenges?
Only time will reveal.
Join Josephine on this romantic and mind thrilling adventure.
Judith Love Cohen was such a fascinating figure—not just an aerospace engineer who worked on the Apollo missions, but also a creative soul who penned children's books! One of her most charming works is 'The Fiddler’s Journey to the Big Screen,' which blends storytelling with her love for music and film. She co-authored 'You Can Be a Woman Engineer' to inspire young girls, making STEM fields feel accessible and exciting. Her writing had this warm, encouraging tone, like a mentor cheering you on.
What I adore about her books is how they merge her technical brilliance with whimsy. 'Switching Power for Kids' is another gem—it demystifies electronics in a way that’s playful yet educational. It’s rare to find someone who could explain complex concepts with such clarity and joy. Her legacy isn’t just in space travel; it’s in those pages that still spark curiosity in kids today.
