About this listen
The inspiring story of a groundbreaking African American female engineer who created the first computer-designed ship for the US Navy.
Raye Montague was an ambitious little girl in segregated Little Rock. She grew to be a woman who spent a lifetime educating herself, both inside and outside of the classroom, so that she could become the person and professional she aspired to be.
Where some saw roadblocks, Montague only saw hurdles that needed to be overcome. Her mindset helped her become the first person to draft a Naval ship design by computer, using a program she worked late nights to debug. She did this as a single mother during the height of the Cold War, all the while imbuing her son with the hard-won wisdom she had accumulated throughout the years.
Equal parts coming-of-age tale, civil rights history, and reflection on the power of education, Overnight Code is a tale about persistence and perseverance when the odds against you seem insurmountable.

Great account
To think that a black woman created the US Navy’s first computer designed ship is awesome! This is a really great story of a woman who got in at the ground floor of computers and led the way. And she became an architect too! A great listen.
