marymanor 's review for:

Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars by Nathalia Holt

3.0

---

I really enjoyed this book and wanted to give it four stars, but I thought Holt could have dig deeper into the issues of gender equity in this book--there were hints here and there about harassment, but they were never addressed. I loved the science and the face that the end of the book discussed briefly the Juno mission, which reached Jupiter as I finished the book!
