ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Hidden Figures” by Margot Lee Shetterly tells the inspiring story of three African American women mathematicians—Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson—who worked at NASA during the Space Race. Despite facing racial and gender discrimination, they played pivotal roles in the success of U.S. space missions, including John Glenn’s orbital flight. The book explores themes of perseverance, innovation, and the fight for equality, highlighting the challenges these women overcame in a segregated society. Their contributions to science and technology were groundbreaking, yet largely overlooked until their stories were shared, reshaping the narrative of American history and STEM fields.
