brinastewart '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 enjoyed reading about the women behind space exploration. I appreciated the mix in of a little of the women's personal life and felt that brought about a sense of connection to them while reading their stories. I am not a big science and math person so the added information about their lives helped the book from becoming too boring. The downside to the kindle edition is the pictures were not big enough for me to see and the zooming did not work for this book.
