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. 606 $aJuvenile Nonfiction$2OverDrive 606 $aBiography & Autobiography$2OverDrive 606 $aMulti-Cultural$2OverDrive 606 $aScience$2OverDrive 610 $aJuvenile Nonfiction 610 $aNonfiction 615 17$aJuvenile Nonfiction. 615 7$aBiography & Autobiography. 615 7$aMulti-Cultural. 615 7$aScience. 686 $aJNF007120$aJNF018010$aJNF051040$2bisacsh 700 $aShetterly$b Margot Lee$01775085 702 $aTurpin$b Bahni$f1962-$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910150507003321 996 $aHidden figures young readers' edition$94289127 997 $aUNINA
