A Computer Called Katherine: How Katherine Johnson Helped Put America on the Moon by Veronica Miller Jamison, Suzanne Slade

hopeful informative inspiring sad

5.0

I thought that this was a beautiful book which did a good job at showing how Katherine was able to break barriers and pursue/excel at a job in STEM. It shows the needless and nonsensical barriers that woman have had to go through in order to pave out a way for themselves in that world. As a person of colour, Katherine had even more barriers and I think that this book is inspiring: to pursue ones passion and to dismantle the senseless barriers and systems that create them.
