5/11/2023 0 Comments Shetterly margot leein the 1950s and 1960s, and with NASA, these math and engineering oriented jobs were actually supremely important and necessary for space travel to be successful, for astronauts like John Glenn and company to not only lift off but to lift off safely and to later also return safely). So yes indeed, with regard to Laura Freeman's bright and boldly descriptive accompanying artwork (which really does expressively and wonderfully totally and utterly compliment Margot Lee Shetterly's presented text) as well as the factual and thematic details which Shetterly gives us readers on and about Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden (and of course also the information on NASA, the Cold War, the so-called Space Race, and also the Civil Rights Movement and the fight against segregation), Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race really does majorly and wonderfully shine (presenting both textually and illustratively not only absolutely and essential need to know facts and data but also showing just how difficult it generally was for women but in particular for African American women to be taken seriously and to be approached with the respect they deserved with regard to their careers etc.
