Book excerpt: Based on the New York Times bestselling book and the Academy Award–nominated movie, author Margot Lee Shetterly and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Award winner Laura Freeman bring the incredibly inspiring true story of four black women who helped NASA launch men into space to picture book readers! Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at math…really good. They participated in some of NASA's greatest successes, like providing the calculations for America's first journeys into space. And they did so during a time when being black and a woman limited what they could do. But they worked hard. They persisted. And they used their genius minds to change the world. In this beautifully illustrated picture book edition, we explore the story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career. "Finally, the extraordinary lives of four African American women who helped NASA put the first men in space is available for picture book readers," proclaims Brightly in their article "18 Must-Read Picture Books of 2018." "Will inspire girls and boys alike to love math, believe in themselves, and reach for the stars."

Dorothy Vaughan was the first African American woman to become a section manager for NACA. This was the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. This group later became NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). She has become famous as one of the subjects of a bestselling book by Margot Lee Shetterly. The book is titled Hidden Figures. It tells about black women math experts who helped develop planes for World War II. Their work was an important part of winning the war. They also worked on the space program. This work helped put a man on the moon. The book was made into a movie, also called Hidden Figures, with Octavia Spencer playing Vaughan. While she reached an important position within NACA, Dorothy still faced problems with segregation. Segregation is "enforced separation of different racial groups in a country, community, or establishment." African Americans -or colored as they were often called then - faced segregation. At that time in the United States, black people had to use separate items from white people. The unit she later managed, West Computing, was only for African American women. However, it was first managed by white women. Computers, when Dorothy joined the unit, meant people who worked in the area of mathematics. They computed the data needed by the people working on aeronautical research. Aeronautics is "the science or practice of travel through the air."
