Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American heroes.

Change is possible : stories of women and minorities in mathematics / by Kenschaft, Patricia C.;

Includes bibliographical references.With the help of good white men -- Women and mathematics in the nineteenth century -- The twentieth century : mathematics and marriage -- African American mathematicians from the eighteenth through the twentieth century -- Latino mathematicians -- Reawakening : The Association for Women in Mathematics -- Skits tell what's happening around 1990 -- Women in mathematics now (2004) -- Minorities in mathematics now (2004) -- Appendix to chapter 5 the careers of 75 African American mathematicians of New Jersey in mid-1985."Based on dozens of interviews and extensive historical research, this book relates stories about mathematicians who have defied stereotypes. It is spiced with interesting photographs. The five chapters about women provide insight into the nineteenth century, the mid-twentieth century, the early 1970s, the early 1990s, and 2004. Activists in many fields can take heart at the changes. The author documents trends from the rudimentary struggles simply to become professionals, to the freedom to be married without giving up a career entirely, to organizing to eliminate the most flagrant discrimination, to efforts to improve the daily treatment of women in the professional community, to widespread efforts toward true equity."--Jacket.

Hidden figures : [electronic resource] : The American dream and the untold story of the Black Women Mathematicians who helped win the space race. by Shetterly, Margot Lee.; Miles, Robin.;

Narrator: Robin Miles.Before John Glenn orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as "human computers" used pencils, slide rules and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space. 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. Starting in World War II and moving through to the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement and the Space Race, Hidden Figures follows the interwoven accounts of Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden, four African American women who participated in some of NASA's greatest successes. It chronicles their careers over nearly three decades they faced challenges, forged alliances and used their intellect to change their own lives, and their country's future.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 303930 KB).
