The .25 is for the epilogue which felt like the only time we heard anything about the women. I felt as though I needed an engineering degree with a specialization in aeronautics to read this book. Very little about the women but a ton of info about NACA NASA and airplanes. A serious disappointment especially since the movie was so good. I almost dnf :(

I really love this book. It’s amazing as an informational book for science nerds like myself but also an amazing story for anyone who needs a glimpse of hope. It reminds us as a society that we should all be kind to each other. It’s also such an empowering story to read about black women and how intersectionality can be so hard to manage. It really is just a book I believe everyone should read.
The topic is exactly my cup of tea, but the book was unfortunately not very engaging (probably especially because I listened to the audio)

Hidden Figures- Margot Lee Shetterly
Libby (Audiobook)
Nonfiction. Very informative.Its not that its a dry story but its just that the film adaptation was done so well, that its hard to absorb all the info and not feel in the same way. I found once I got to 60%, things went more in the direction of NASA and all that entails.

Five stars to the story, which I'm glad to know now, but the book itself, at times, is very dry.

I wanted to like this book, as I'm trying to broaden my reading horizon and read more historic fiction and nonfiction.
The author appears to thoroughly cover details regarding the events that took place to move the U.S. towards desegregation and equality for African Americans. She does well in describing the political conflict between "traditionalists" and more forward minded individuals. There is a good plethora of information and education here on this topic.
What I didn't like: The book falls flat for me because, I went into this hoping to I would be learning more about the women behind the scenes at NASA, etc. and unfortunately, because there is so much information about the history of NASA, segregation, etc, there is little focus on the women themselves and their actual roles. I felt the author more so generalized the women's stores than actually detailing and delving into their stories.
All said, I had to DNF early in, because it is just too dry of material to keep me mentally stimulated. It almost feels more like reading a textbook on the history of segregation than that of hidden figures in NASA 😐
