The #1 New York Times
Bestseller. Set amid the civil rights movement, the never-before-told
true story of NASA’s African-American female mathematicians who played a
crucial role in America’s space program. Before Neil Armstrong walked
on the moon, a group of professionals worked as ‘Human Computers’,
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
‘coloured computers’ used pencil and paper to write the equations that
would launch rockets and astronauts, into space.
Moving from World War
II through NASA’s golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the
Space Race, the Cold War and the women’s rights movement, ‘Hidden
Figures’ interweaves a rich history of mankind’s greatest adventure with
the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever
changed the world.
