In Rise of the Rocket Girls, Nathalia Holt brings a remarkable compilation of their untold stories. The book provides a broad understanding of many aspects of this history the space program, technology, cultural paradigms, and particularly the role of women. The book is an intriguing introduction to a fascinating history of the "computers" of the JPL.
