AuthorMargot Lee Shetterly
Rating
Price537

Set amid the civil rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASAâ€™s African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in Americaâ€™s space program.Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as â€˜Human Computersâ€™, calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts, these â€˜colored computersâ€™ used pencil and paper to write the equations that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.Moving from World War II through NASAâ€™s golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the womenâ€™s rights movement, Hidden Figures interweaves a rich history of mankindâ€™s greatest adventure with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.
