SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURENew York Times Bestseller
Set amid the civil rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASAâs African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in Americaâs space program.
One of AudioFile Magazineâs Best Audiobooks of 2016.
Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as âHuman Computersâ, calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts, these âcolored computersâ used pencil and paper to write the equations that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.
Moving from World War II through NASAâs golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the womenâs rights movement, âHidden Figuresâ interweaves a rich history of mankindâs greatest adventure with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.
