Finished reading: Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly 📚. Hidden figures is story about black women mathematicians and engineers in service of NACA and NASA. It covers the personal and professional lives of the people and tells the wider story of racism trying to block these people living their lives and building their careers.

Took time to get started and at times felt like a list of things that happened but still managed to surprise me positively. A part of history I had no idea, super interesting (real life) people and I am now super fascinated about the work of a computer. I could read a book with just the math involved in development of airplanes and spacecraft.
