Publisher's Summary
The uplifting, amazing true story — a New York Times best seller!
This edition of Margot Lee Shetterly’s acclaimed book is perfect for young students. 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 middle grade nonfiction book is an excellent choice for tween children in grades 4 to 6, in the classroom or for homeschooling.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
