The uplifting, amazing true storya New York Times bestseller!
This edition of Margot Lee Shetterly's acclaimed book is perfect for young readers. It's the powerful story of four African-American female mathematicians at NASA who helped achieve some of the greatest moments in our space program.
Before John Glenn orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as human computers used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.
This book brings to life the stories of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden, who lived through the Civil Rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the movement for gender equality, and whose work forever changed the face of NASA and the country.
This edition, adapted for young readers, brings their history to life with stories of courage, genius, and the power of fighting for your dreams.
- The Human Computers: Meet the brilliant African-American women who worked as "human computers," calculating the math for America's first rockets and astronauts by hand.
- The Space Race: Learn how these women were the hidden heroes of the Space Race, helping the United States compete with the Soviet Union and reach for the moon.
- Breaking Barriers: Follow the inspiring journey of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden as they fought segregation and sexism to become leaders in their field.
- Inspiring STEM Story: Perfect for young readers and future scientists, this book shows how a love for math and science can change the world.
