Rise of the Rocket Girls is the true story of the women who have worked at the Jet Propulsion Lab since its inception in the 1940s. Rise of the Rocket Girls is fascinating and captivating. I cannot imagine doing the calculations needed and with only paper and pencil! I admire their dedication, and perseverance to the Jet Propulsion Lab projects, as well as making a path for women to work in the field.
