This book looks at the lives of several African-American women who worked as 'computers' as they calculated complex equations which contributed to the development of better, faster airplanes & eventually the trajectories of launching a rocket into space. Their stories should have been fascinating & I'm not sure if it is just how the book is written, but it was quite difficult to get through as it was rather dry. At the end I didn't feel that I knew anything really about the different women, very little personality came through on the page. It's a real shame as their stories deserve to be told. I may try watching the film instead.
