About this listen
“Hidden Figures” by Margot Lee Shetterly is a compelling historical book that shines a light on the incredible contributions of three black women – Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson – during the Space Race. These women defied the odds and played pivotal roles at NASA, challenging the prevailing stereotypes and discrimination of their time.
The book delves into the challenging experiences faced by Vaughan, Jackson, and Johnson as women of color in a predominantly white and male-dominated industry. It explores the barriers they had to overcome and the perseverance they exhibited in pursuit of their dreams. Their remarkable achievements at NASA not only defied societal expectations but also played a significant role in shaping the success of the space program.
