Hidden Figures

The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race
Feb 10, 2018pokano rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
The subject matter of this book, of course, gets a 5. The author should get great credit for bringing to public notice (not to mention Hollywood's) the heretofore largely unknown brave and intelligent black women whose mathematical and scientific careers were so instrumental in World War II and the space race. Yet I couldn't give this a higher rating because the style of writing did nothing for me. Perhaps it did for others. I wanted these women to come to life in the pages of the book, but sadly, they never did for me.
