Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race

Absolutely 5 stars for such an incredible and well researched story, the only personal negative for me is I’m a real dummy about math so areas of the book that explained in detail about all the math and machinery went straight over my poor thick skull

I loved this book for several reasons. First of all, it was a true story of a group of brilliant black women who succeeded in the aeronautics industry of America that eventually became NASA. Secondly, these women were role models as strong, motivated and unstoppable in engineering and mathematics. Thirdly, these women provided encouragement and leadership with high standards to extend the bridge to the next generation of girls. Last of all, a biography shares a social and psychological connection between the reader and its characters. A great book to motivate females of all ages to get an education.
