內容簡介
改編電影2017年初上映，不為人知的非裔女性英雄，將人類太空史推嚮新高度
早在阿姆斯特朗漫步在月球之前，NASA裏就有著一群被稱之為「人體電腦」的女性數學傢們，用著鉛筆與計算機，默默算齣瞭那些最後化為太空船、飛行軌道的重要公式。沒有她們的幫助，太空競賽的結局，甚至是人類太空發展史，可能都將不是今天的模樣。本書就是關於這群沒能被聚光燈照亮的女性們的故事，尤其聚焦在幾位非裔傑齣女性的卓越錶現。對應大時代的氛圍，從二戰到冷戰與太空競賽，為讀者揭開她們的工作與挑戰，這太空發展史鮮為人知的摺頁。
The uplifting, amazing true story—a New York Times bestseller
This edition of Margot Lee Shetterly’s acclaimed book is perfect for young readers. It is the powerful story of four African-American female mathematicians at NASA who helped achieve some of the greatest moments in our space program. Now a major motion picture starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monae, Kirsten Dunst, and Kevin Costner.
Before John Glenn orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as “human computers” used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.
This book brings to life the stories of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden, who lived through the Civil Rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the movement for gender equality, and whose work forever changed the face of NASA and the country.
