The author did a superb job of researching and retelling the stories of these amazing women who took on the odds of their age simply to be allowed to contribute their exceptional talents for the sake of their country. It really brought home to me the issues of the civil rights movement and all the opposition women like these mathematicians faced. No, it wasn't an easy read, but it was completely worthwhile.
