Time Travel to Be the Astronaut's Wife: A Forced Gender Swap Story of Identity and Social Roles in 1960s America by Tanya Mondragon
A man's dream of spaceflight takes a sudden detour into the home of a 1960s suburban wife and mother.

One moment he's a modern man with stars in his eyes. The next, he's waking up as Barbara, a quiet housewife of an astronaut in 1960s America, whose world revolves around ironing shirts, planning dinner parties, and guiding a newborn and two toddlers through their daily routines. Instead of training for orbit, he's preparing oatmeal, handing out sippy cups, and conforming to schedules he never set.

This isn't a spicy romance and it isn't cozy nostalgia. It's the uneasy reality of a life inherited rather than earned, where every polite smile and chore feels heavier than expected.

As he struggles to find himself in someone else's role, each subtle expectation and small kindness becomes a reminder that there are no easy exits from an ordinary life.

With moments of wry humor and tender insight, Time Travel to Be the Astronaut's Wife reveals that sometimes the hardest journey isn't across galaxies- it's through another person's everyday world.
