Review: HIDDEN FIGURES: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race, by Margot Lee Shetterly

Hidden Figures is a fascinating story that deserves to be told. I really enjoyed the intrigue laced throughout this book, and I appreciated the author's thorough research and relatable word choice. The only downside was that the book's structure made it difficult to keep track of the women. The author jumped often between the "characters" and the chronology wasn't entirely linear; I often had to stop and pause to wrap my mind around the shifts in direction.

Stars: 4/5
