The book has become a New York Times bestseller as well as a major motion picture starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Kirsten Dunst, and Kevin Costner. Responding to labor shortages during the 1940s, NASA recruited a group of highly intelligent female "calculators" who, with pencils, paper, and slide rules, transformed airplane, rocket, and satellite designs, and ensured a World War II victory. Despite working at the height of Jim Crow, these women rose up and became integral to the project that put the first man on the moon. From World War II to the Cold War to the civil rights movement to the space race, Hidden Figures tells the story of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden-four remarkable women whose contributions to science led to some of NASA's greatest successes.
