Among these problem-solvers were a group of exceptionally talented African American women, some of the brightest minds of their generation. Originally relegated to teaching math in the South's segregated public schools, they were called into service during the labor shortages of World War II, when America's aeronautics industry was in dire need of anyone who had the right stuff. Suddenly, these overlooked math whizzes had a shot at jobs worthy of their skills, and they answered Uncle Sam's call, moving to Hampton, Virginia, and the fascinating, high-energy world of the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory. Even as Virginia's Jim Crow laws required them to be segregated from their white counterparts, the women of Langley's all-black 'West Computing' group helped America achieve one of the things it desired most: a decisive victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and complete domination of the heavens"--Publisher's description. 586 $a New York Times Best Seller List. 586 $a ALA Black Caucus Award, 2017 (Nonfiction) 586 $a Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, 2017 Nonfiction 610 10 $a United States. $b National Aeronautics and Space Administration $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women mathematicians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American women $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American mathematicians $v Biography. 650 0 $a Space race. 650 1 $a Space race 650 7 $a 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x African American Studies. $x African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 610 17 $a United States. $b National Aeronautics and Space Administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528469 650 7 $a African American mathematicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799231 650 7 $a African American women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799438 650 7 $a Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909111 650 7 $a Space race. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127802 650 7 $a Women mathematicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178130 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Schwarze $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4116433-7 610 27 $a UmschulungswerkstaÌtten fuÌr Siedler und Auswanderer $g Bitterfeld $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)10090522-5 650 7 $a Raumfahrtprogramm $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4479200-1 650 7 $a Mathematikerin $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4252788-0 650 7 $a NASA PROGRAMS. $2 nasat 650 7 $a HISTORIES. $2 nasat 650 7 $a MATHEMATICS. $2 nasat 610 17 $a United States. $b National Aeronautics and Space Administration $x Officials and employees $v Biography. $2 nli 650 7 $a Women mathematicians $z United States $v Biography. $2 nli 650 7 $a African American women $v Biography. $2 nli 650 7 $a African American mathematicians $v Biography. $2 nli 650 7 $a Space race. $2 nli 650 7 $a Femmes scientifiques $x Biographies. $2 ram 650 7 $a Sexisme dans les sciences. $2 ram 650 7 $a Noirs $x SeÌgreÌgation $z EÌtats-Unis. $2 ram 650 7 $a ConqueÌte de l'espace $z EÌtats-Unis. $2 ram 610 17 $a United States. $b National Aeronautics and Space Administration $x Officials and employees $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Women mathematicians $z United States $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a African American women $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a African American mathematicians $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Astronautics $z United States $x Hitory. $2 sears 655 0 $a Biography. 655 4 $a Biographies. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 856 42 $3 Book website $u http://www.hiddenfigures.com/ 941 $a 4 $n 1 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20230615183628.0 $m BWPD851 $n 9 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20230425095249.0 $m 510.922 SHE $n 3 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20210802162201.0 $n 14 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210525153513.0 $n 13 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2AEA3C3CAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
