Hidden Figures Margot Shetterly

This is a fabulous book about the group of African American women mathematicians who worked for NASA when labor was hard to find during WWII, and later. These women, though segregated from their white coworkers, were instrumental in the effort to achieve victory over the Soviet Union during the Cold War. They used pencil and paper to figure out the equations that would launch our rockets and people into space! A Must Read!
