3.0

This book has really puzzled me. It is clearly very well researched, including lots of primary source interviews and the subject is fascinating, but the writing style (which is aiming at the sort of easily read and digested narrative non-fiction of Hidden Figures or the Astronaut Wives Club) is just not there.

I found it hard to keep track of which women were which, of who was doing what and even at some points the year that we were in. It's frustrating, because the stories are fascinating, I just think that the narrative framework that they were being told in was confusing. A shame. Still interesting, but a bit more of a trudge than it should have been.
