Book 8 Hidden Figures

It's theme book time and for July, which has international math and space exploration days I chose Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly.

It follows the fortunes and misfortunes of Black women who worked as "computers" back when that was a human job and not a machine. Although there are several women it mentions it mostly follows Dorothy Vaughan, who became boss of the computers while they were still in their segregated pool and Katherine Johnson, who went on to be a giant in the moon landing.

The book starts when the women worked to improve airplanes under the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics which eventually became NASA when the space race kicked off. It also follows the fortunes of the civil rights movement as it closely affected the every day life of Black women of the time.

SHOULD YOU READ THE BOOK: If you managed to resist reading when it came out in 2016, or when the movie was widely released in 2017, or when it was up for 3 Oscars later that year then yes, you should still read it now.

BEST LINE: "The West Computers watched their colleague remove the sign and banish it to the recesses of her purse, her small act of defiance inspiring both anxiety and a sense of empowerment"

ART PROJECT:

Just a little thing with some math.

Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly

Hidden Figures is the story of the women mathematicians and engineers who were employed by NACA, later NASA from the 1940s into the 1970s.

This book was fantastic. I really enjoyed listening to it on my drives to and from work, as well as while I cleaned a bit around my house last week.

Hidden Figures

In honour of Black History Month, I'm starting to write book reviews about some of the nonfiction I'm reading

Note: As part of Black History Month, I’m trying something new: writing a book review on a new nonfiction fave. As many book reviews as I’ve written and posted, as many nonfiction books as I read, it’s not a genre I feel particularly comfortable with writing reviews for, but I thought I’d give it a whirl since I’m thinking about including more nonfiction content on my blogs other than the…

December 2023 wrapup

According to thestorygraph, December was my worst month in terms of ratings.... oops. It might be because I didn't pick them all - I'm doing a project at work where my students can read whatever they want and I'll read it too and talk about it with them, and our reading tastes just don't align super well.... My favorite reads in December where definitely ones I picked myself!

not pictured: King of Wrath by Ana Huang

favorites of the month: Stay Another Day by Juno Dawson, The Madman's Gallery by Edward Brooke-Hitching

nonfiction of the month (3): Foxes Unearthed by Lucy Jones, The Madman's Gallery by Edward Brooke-Hitching, Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly

classics (1): Orlando by Virginia Woolf

poetry (1): Von drauß' vom Walde komm ich her... Die schönesten Weihnachtsgedichte' edited Mareike von Landsberg

graphic novel (0): I just noticed that I didn't read a graphic novel this month, oops....
