The movie Hidden Figures (which debuted in theaters around the world on December 25th, 2016) grossed a total of $206 million. This number, which was four times the overall budget for the film, gave physical manifestation to the underlying craving that people have for stories of unsung heroes. They utilize their money and their support as praise and approval for the efforts that these women gave, and it is an educated lesson for the masses to continue telling their stories well after they are gone. The movie has been nominated for over 70 awards and won a whopping 28 of them. Needless to say, the writers of our history books should have done their jobs better. This book will pick up where the historians left off. It will delve into the lives of four incredibly important women, shining lights on their early lives and educations that led them to some of the greatest contributions America’s space program has seen in its history. It will address the shift in politics as African-Americans began to gain more rights via federal law, and it will document the transitional years these women worked in. This book will talk of how they broke all traditional chains and stereotypes of African-American women in the workforce, and it will leave you breathless at their accomplishments, as well as the symbolism that they shined throughout the decades they thrived within.

In this book we’re going to cover:

  • Dorothy Vaughan
  • Katherine Johnson
  • Mary Jackson
  • Christine Darden
  • What A Movie!
  • And much, much more!
