mathematicians at NASA whose calculations helped fuel some of
America’s greatest achievements in space. Before John Glenn
orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group
of dedicated female mathematicians known as “human computers”

It chronicles their careers over nearly three decades they faced
challenges, forged alliances and used their intellect to change
their own lives, and their country’s future.
