Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up
I quite like Shetterly's writing style, but there's a lot of information and people that she throws at you. My memory isn't the best, so it was hard for me to remember everyone she mentions - I struggled to remember whether we've already been introduced or it's a first time mention.
It did make me think though of what my passions are and where were all the Asians in this. I know it's better to focus one on minority group, but just made me wonder if Asian women had a hard time too back then... And if there were any Asians at Langley when the West and East Computers were around.
