we love women in stem but i was bored when reading this, usually i read nonfiction regarding topics that i know im interested in reading about but i got this from a thrift store and went in blind not knowing this was straight nonfiction like i knew it was based on the real life stories but i thought this was like a novelization of the movie cause i got the movie cover. 

in conclusion its not the book its me id recommend it for people who are already curious on the subject
