I really love to hear about women scientists and their achievements, especially if they‘re not some isolated incident but a whole group of success–stories.

I found the narration a bit choppy and the names of the protagonists inconsistent at times (Dorothy Vaughn is at one time referred to as „Dot“ out of the blue, and Katherine Johnson is in one chapter referred to as „Katherine Goble ... Katherine Johnson ... Katherine Goble ... Katherine Johnson“ in a merry mix and match fashion).

So while the writing and editing could have been improved a bit, the story itself was highly interesting and the historical setting very insightful. I probably learned more about segregation than about NASA/NACA.
