First-hand accounts, exclusive interviews with the legendary Margaret Hamilton, and detailed science populate the pages of this remarkable biography. In 1969, mankind successfully left our atmosphere and landed on the moon. It took countless hours of calculations, training, wonder, and sacrifice from all of the men and women who worked hard to make that landing. One of those people was Margaret Hamilton. A young computer engineer, Hamilton was hired to develop the completely new software used in the groundbreaking Apollo Space Program. Soon she became the lead engineer, one of the few women in the almost entirely male-dominated profession. But it wasn't always easy. In The Woman in the Moon, science-writer and journalist Richard Maurer (Destination Moon, 2019) dives deep into the backstory of this extraordinary woman. With first-hand interviews and access to primary sources, this striking biography perfectly captures the exciting atmosphere of the Space Race and the inspiring figure of Margaret Hamilton"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 10-14 $b Roaring Brook Press. 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Roaring Brook Press. 600 10 $a Hamilton, Margaret Heafield, $d 1936- $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Computer software developers $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Computer programmers $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women scientists $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 610 0 $a Project Apollo (U.S.) $x History $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 12 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240305011110.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20231120145902.0 $m J 005.109 MAU 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230902011101.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20230831010259.0 952 $l KLPC566 $d 20230830010335.0 952 $l FLPB224 $d 20230829010506.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012844.0 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20230725011130.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20230718014039.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230630010835.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010546.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1042E5AECDF711ED9469B9D436ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
