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

2.75

this was super interesting, but it was hard to get through. I appreciated all the personal info of the women's lives throughout the book. It made it a bit easier to read through with all the scientific language. it was a bit weird to me that the author focused so much on the women's clothing and their "giddiness" while (I guess) the idea behind the book was to highlight the seriousness of what these women have achieved for themselves and our planet.
