About Hidden Figures

Hidden Figures, by Margot Lee Shetterly, is the true story of African-American women who worked at the Langley Memorial Research Center in Virginia in the early years of the aeronautical industry. The expert work of these women in mathematics helped the industry advance and helped launch America into the space race. These women worked behind the scenes in the all black West Computing unit, and their work went unnoticed for decades, despite the fact that they masterminded some of the most important operations in the history of American space flight.
