Description
The story of four African-American female mathematicians who helped achieve some of the greatest moments in our space program is a powerful and uplifting one. This book brings to life the stories of the women who used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets and astronauts into space.
From the Civil Rights era to the Space Race, the Cold War, and the movement for gender equality, these women's work forever changed the face of NASA and the country. Their contributions, though often overlooked, were instrumental in the success of some of the most historic space missions.
This illustrated edition of the book is perfect for young readers who want to learn about the incredible achievements of these trailblazing women.
