The Top 10 Sunday Times Bestseller

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
Oscar Nominated For Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay

Set amid the civil rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASAs African-American female mathematicians who played a crucial role in Americas space program.

Before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as Human Computers, calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white counterparts, these colored computers used pencil and paper to write the equations that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.

Moving from World War II through NASAs golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the womens rights movement, Hidden Figures interweaves a rich history of mankinds greatest adventure with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.
