Description
Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were exceptionally skilled mathematicians who played a crucial role in NASA's most significant achievements. Despite facing significant barriers due to their race and gender, they persevered and used their talents to make a lasting impact. This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of these four women, known as "colored computers," and their remarkable journey to success in a male-dominated field.
